Can Brake Pads Be Replaced by Yourself?
1 Answers
Brake pads can be replaced by yourself. The method to replace brake pads is as follows: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Unscrew the fixing screws on the brake caliper and remove the brake caliper; 3. Remove the old brake pads and push back the brake caliper piston; 4. Clean the installation bracket of the brake disc and install the new brake pads. The methods to determine whether brake pads need to be replaced are: 1. Observe that the thickness of the brake pads is only one-third of the original; 2. There is abnormal noise when lightly braking; 3. The braking response is slow, and the braking force becomes weak. Brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel.
