Make sure you buy the kit with new pistons. The piston is the where the seal moves across and is highly recommended to be replaced and not just polished as the RU finish is specific.

If the pins are sized just loosen them slowly in a vice then buy a gun cleaning kit like a colt 45 bronze brush and clean the pin bores then use a bench grinder with wire wheel to clean the pins re-lube and they'll be fine.

So removed first part then the outside pad fell out and the metal cover was broke on the single latch thing as in pic,the pins were fine moving freely.
Noticed the piston was very hard to move back (with nipple open) and everything(maybe need a good reco)..so im thinking where did that bit of metal go that broke off the pad cover?..all back together and no noise atm.

That doesn't even look close to a DB-1085 (front) or a 1086 for the rear ?

Are you thinking these are bendix?cause they are not,they are the right pads/cover but they are tora(cheap).

Isn't that just some sort of anti-rattle shim that clips on the outside of the brake pad? IF it is than the bit on the end probably just broke off and fell out at some stage.

just goes between the caliper and the pad,and the piston and the pad.the bit that broke could of gone anywhere for sure,but mite have got jammed as well.

So then they are just anti-rattle shims which some people keep and other throw out. Many pads now come with them regardless of how the original OEM's were.
