How Long Do Brake Pads Need to Break In?
1 Answers
Brake pads require a break-in period of approximately 200 kilometers. The method for replacing brake pads is as follows: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads and tighten the guide bolts to complete the replacement. The working principle of brake pads is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby stopping the vehicle. The materials used for brake pads include: 1. Asbestos, cellulose, sintered glass; 2. Carbon fiber friction materials; 3. Powder metallurgy friction materials; 4. Semi-metallic friction materials.
