> Replacing the pins on my front brake calipers. The pins go through holes in the caliper and through holes in the tops of the brake pads, holding the brake pads in place.

> Question:  how far to hammer the pins through the holes in the caliper? The base of the pin has a loose collar. Do I pound this loose collar into the hole of the caliper?  Or does the loose collar remain outside the caliper?  Could not find guidance in the Bentley or the Samba. Thanks to those in the know.
