I will check the inner pad tonight, but no I did not pay attention to that at all. My problem was with fitting the outer pad. Would a bad fit on the inner pad cause the outer pad not to fit properly? Also, I just looked up the parts diagram and noticed that the sliding pins are different parts numbers. One site mentions that the upper pin is black and the lower is gold. I didn't even bother keeping them in orientation when I took them out, cleaned them and then reinstalled them. I will check that as well, but could that be affecting anything, or would have not gone back together at all if I mixed the pins up? Thanks again.
