I've searched google, this forum, and Glacier's EXCELLENT tutorial on 1st gen brakes, but have not seen any pic that shows this clip and/or where/how it's installed on the inner pad, at least specific to the 1st gen Explorer's pad. I DID purchase from AutoZone a new caliper hardware kit that had the 4 metal/rubber retainer pins. There were also 2 small clip-looking things in the hardware bag, but the guys at AZ thought they were 'squeal' clips that scrape the disc when the pads wear thin, giving audible warning that the pads are due to be replaced. I've never used that type of 'squeal' clip on any brake job before, so thinking they were optional, I just tossed them, along with the old pins. MHC Space Synthesizer VSTi V2.0 Incl Keygen-PARADOX.

QUOTE] Tbars, through all the brake jobs I've ever done, I've never gotten any clips either. It's becaue these clips are good for so long, that usually you can just re-use the clips. I had to specifically ask for them when I needed mine a few years ago.

The pedal pulses more like ABS kicking in, but I've lightened my food action and it's been fine.

To the OP, the guy at Autozone was actually half-way right. While those are, as you've discovered, anti-rattle clips, they do also serve as wear indicators.
