Can You Drive When the Car Brake Pads Are Worn Out?
1 Answers
You cannot drive when the car brake pads are worn out. Brake pads refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheels. The friction linings and friction blocks in the brake pads bear external pressure and generate friction to achieve the purpose of vehicle deceleration. The types of car brake pads include: 1. Semi-metallic brake pads; 2. Non-metallic brake pads; 3. Carbon fiber brake pads; 4. Ceramic fiber brake pads. The method to replace car brake pads is: 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.
