How Often Should Rear Brake Pads Be Replaced?

[WilliamFitz]

Under normal circumstances, rear brake pads should be replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. However, this mileage refers to the theoretical replacement cycle of rear brake pads. The actual replacement interval depends on the frequency of brake usage and the quality of the brake pads. Generally, the wear condition of brake pads should be checked every 30,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing car brake pads: 1. Open the engine compartment and check whether the brake fluid level is at the normal position to avoid overflow during the brake pad replacement process. 2. Use a jack to align with the support points under the car, raise the tire until it completely leaves the ground, and then remove the tire. 3. Use a wrench combined with a socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper and directly take off the brake pads. 4. Push the brake piston back to its original position and install the new brake pads. 5. After installation, check the brake fluid level. Press the brake pedal firmly several times and then add brake fluid again to ensure the fluid level is at the max mark.
