Yes, this is normal, it helps with the cooling of the brakes. Are you having a problem, do you need to know how to change them out with the pads? If so, I have included the instructions for the brakes in the diagram below. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
