No brainer Question?  Sometimes I feel I have no brain!

Anyway, I am getting ready to rebuild my calipers for the 6 and am not 
sure how the anti-squel shims go on. All the years I've worked on the 
car I've never put on shims. Do they go on the pad side of the break 
pads or on the back side? If on the pad side, won't they just wear out 
since you want the pads to do the breaking? What good are they
if they are on the back side? As you can tell, I'm confused this
morning. I know that the arrow needs to be pointing in the direction
of the wheel rotation. Do I need to put any grease on these?

TIA
