Do brake pads and brake discs need to be replaced together?
1 Answers
Brake discs and brake pads do not necessarily need to be replaced together, as it depends on the specific situation, since brake pads wear out more frequently than brake discs. Below is relevant information about brake discs and brake pads: 1. Situation Analysis: Brake pads must be replaced when they wear down to a certain limit (usually when 2-3mm remains). When replacing brake pads, it is not always necessary to replace the brake discs. Whether the brake discs need to be replaced depends on the situation, such as if the wear on the brake discs exceeds 2mm (some models specify that wear exceeding 1mm requires replacement). Of course, there are also cases of abnormal wear where both the brake pads or brake discs must be replaced. 2. When replacing the brake pads, special tools must be used to retract the brake caliper pistons: Other pry bars should not be used to force them back, as this can easily bend the guide screws of the brake caliper, causing the brake pads to seize. After replacing the brake pads, a running-in period of 200 kilometers is required to achieve optimal braking performance. Drive cautiously with newly replaced brake pads.
