Brake Pad Clips Not Holding Brake Pads in Caliper Piston

Question

Question:

I am having trouble with the brake pad staying clipped inside the piston. It does not click in and just falls back out.

It is possible that the clip on the back of the brake pad, such as those on set # K225CP, got a little bent out of shape. You should be able to bend it some so the clip has to compress to fit in the piston. I recently had to do that in a similar situation.
