Default Rear Brake pad clip woes...Pics included.

So I'm stuck. I ordered rear brake "hardware kit" from O'Reilly and couldn't see how the caliper clip is supposed to attach. I thought it had to be the wrong part maybe so I ordered the "hardware kit" from NAPA (p/n- 83254A). It was identical. So anyway, after a week of chasing parts and searching online, I'm asking for help. How is this stupid caliper clip holding me up?! Thanks guys.

the black ones sit on the top and bottom of the caliper and hold the Pad tabs in place, and the center polished looking one presses into the center of the caliper. Its going to have a little bit of "spring" tension to it if you will. You have to make sure that the little tabs on the clip are pushed down into that opening in the center of the caliper. I find it easier to push one side in first and then the other. Its difficult for me to explain with out showing you, but a simple task to do.

So you're saying this is the right part?

I sure would love to see a pic of it installed. That would help immensely.
