Start threading the parallel bars through the caliper, put on the shims first (to go in between the pistons and the pads) then the pads, obviously facing each other, then the final shim, spread the pads apart and put on the anti vibration clip, then finsh by placing the split pins in the parallel bars.

Use copper grease on the shims.

Thats pretty much it i think?
