Hi

Recently changing front brake pads, I removed the front caliper pins for
cleaning and re-lubricating. When I had both pins inm y hands, I noticed thy
were both different. One was all metal, while the other had a plastic sleeve
with ridges on it.

Why are they diferent? Which one is the top pin? Does it matter if they have
been switched location top vs bottom?

Are you sure that only one of the pins has the plastic sleeve? Maybe
the
other one was left inside the housing. Just a thought
 
No I am not sure.

The sleeve did not look like it was removable from what I can recall
I'll have to disassemble it and make sure.
 
You are correct. One pin has a rubber thing on the end. On my 2001 Civic I
believe that this pin goes in the bottom. I'll check the Helms manual if you
wish (Civic).
