Hey guys which brake pad goes on the inside of the disc and which goes on the outside?
There is a large and a small one... can't seem to find it written down anywhere or any detailed photos!

Re: brake pads - inner and outer
Page 176 Fig. 8.3 of the Haynes manual appears to show the longer / narrower one on the outside of the wheel with the shorter stubbier one on the inside.
Someone verify this please.

Re: brake pads - inner and outer
That is how I have just placed them, with the thinking that the shorter fatter pad need to be against the large piston, and the longer thinner pad needs to extend to the two prongs on the outer edge of the caliper, in order to spread the pressure correctly.
I hope this is correct!

Longer pad on outside. Shorter pad towards the piston on brake calliper. The anti-rattle springs are fitted with the square corners to the outside.
