I replaced my pads last weekend. The SM talks about a screw plug that is screwed into the end where the pad hanger pin is bolted into the caliper. My rear brake has one, but my front brake did not have one. Is there a locking screw cap on the front caliper as stated in the shop manual?

My '06 doesn't have a plug either, just the threaded pin hanger. No room for a plug anyway.

Same as my '06, plug in rear, no plug in front.

Thanks-I did not see how there would even be room for a plug, but when they gave torque specs for it, I started to wonder what is going on here.
