Different sizes of rear brake floating caliper guide/slide pins

Why are there different sizes and where to put them. What is their purpose?

Have you ever wondered why are rear brake caliper guide or slide pins are different sizes in the floating caliper braking system? Some manufacturers of course will have the same size caliper pins, but many will have different sizes of these guide or slide pins. This video will try to explain why they are different sizes and where to put them or in other words which goes to top and which goes to bottom. More accurately I will explain which one goes to the leading and which one goes to the trailing position.

The car is a peugeot 307 1.6 petrol version (TU5JP4; 2008), but this is applicable to a lot of manufacturers, especially Honda, although the brake bracket is in the forward position rather than at the rear of the braking system. This video is for rear right of the car.
