How Long Do New Brake Pads Need to Break In?
1 Answers
New brake pads require a break-in period of 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 the new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement. The working principle of brake pads is to use the friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction, thereby stopping the vehicle. The materials of brake pads are: 1. Asbestos, cellulose, sintered glass; 2. Carbon fiber friction material; 3. Powder metallurgy friction material; 4. Semi-metallic friction material.
