Ok, Your English is much better than my French.
Anyway, on the wire clip. You install the dust shield on the piston, push the outer edge of the dust shield onto the caliper, the wire ring holds the dust shield on the caliper.

Just completed a front brake rebuild. Have a look at it here: http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?p=149277#post149277

Lucho, your clip is backwards and will press on the rotor if it is installed that way. The retaining ring sits over the dust boot and the gap faces forward.
