      Brake Wear Indicator/Scraper Orientation. Am I really wrong?

      Curious to see other opinions on this. Every time I install brake pads, I always install the wear indicator/scraper facing to scrape away from the rotor rather than against the rotor. From what I've seen, I know common advice/practice is actually the opposite where the scraper is supposed to "dig" against the rotor to make noise when the pads wear down.

      Any opinions on this? Am I really wrong doing it this way?

      In the picture below, you can see how I usually do it. This is on my '00 K2500 Chevy I was working on today. I have the scraper in the forward/upper position.
