And actually I was able to use the original backing plates on the front and one of the two on the back without issue. I did not experience or hear the pads shifting during bedding. I will look and see if they are up against the pins and report back.
Concur with this. Did front pads today. There is no need to remove the four T-40 pins to change pads. Just needed some PBlaster and a large 1/2" ratchet on those big 10mm hex bolts.


ETA: I had horrible brake squeal with Textar pads that the dealer installed. I switch to EBC Red Stuff pads and used SRC Brake Grease. ZERO NOISE! Great products.
