ABSTRACT:
A method of securing a shim against a first side surface of a backing plate for use in a brake assembly. The first side surface of the backing plate has a first extending pin and at least a second extending pin spaced apart from the first extending pin and the shim has apertures that align with the extending pins. The shim is coupled against the first side surface of the backing plate and the apertures are aligned with their corresponding pins such that the pins extend through the apertures. Each pin is sufficiently deformed to directly contact and lock down at least a portion of the edge of each respective apertures to secure the shim against the first side surface of the backing plate such that the respective pins do not extend above the top surface of the shim after deformation.
