Hey Guys,

Rebuilding the rear brakes on my K10 and have a few questions.

I keep reading about some "wavy washers" that should be there? But I have taken mine apart, and do not see anything of the sort. Possible they have been lost over the years, or do some set ups just not have them? Anyone have a picture of what they should look like?

Also, what are these and where do they go? My spring set came with four of them, but again, I do not see any of these on my truck. Help?

Those look like the covers for the inspection/adjusting slots on the backing plates. No idea what the "wavy washers" would be.

Thanks for the responses guys. Got it all replaced and everything is working well.

Neither side had wavy washers, so I just reassembled as it was, and threw the little black things away!
