I have a 96 EX with Akenobo calipers. Does anyone know which pin should have the bushing? Is it the top pin regardless of side?

 

The pins should be the same, regardless of side.

 

I recently learned that the caliper slide pins have stamped on the end either an "L" or a "G" and the matching letter can be found on the body of the caliper. In order to place the right pin in either the top or bottom, just reference the caliper.
