Review on Dorman HW5624 Disc Brake Hardware by Kyle Smithlin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Didn't fit best in replacement parts

The pads didn't fit in the fittings. I thought I misapplied the pads. After several attempts and wasted time, I removed the fittings (pad sliders, 4 in the middle of the photo) and checked the fit of the pads. They didn't fit! I threw them away and used cleaned old sliders. I'm glad it was my car, otherwise I would have been much more annoyed. I should mention that I have been a professional auto mechanic for over 45 years and own my own workshop. I was also a helicopter mechanic in Vietnam. I still repair Robinson helicopters to help my friend when his service center is overloaded. I don't know if it was Revain's fault (the website said it was the right app for my car) or the manufacturer's fault.

Pros
  • clearly even the old ones
Cons
  • Low maintenance
