How to Check the Wear Condition of Sylphy Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Sylphy brake pad wear can be checked by observing the thickness. Automotive brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction linings and friction blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. The steps for replacing brake pads are as follows: 1. Before replacing the brake pads, open the cover of the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid level is above the maximum limit, some brake fluid should be extracted to prevent overflow during the replacement process; 2. Prepare the new brake pads to be replaced and remove the wheel where the brake is located. Be careful to avoid scratching the rim during the removal process; 3. Use a wrench with a socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper, then take out the brake pads. Check if the brake pads are excessively worn or have cracks. If so, proceed to the next step of replacement; 4. Since the brake caliper may have a lot of sand or dirt, clean it thoroughly with a cloth and apply anti-noise paste to prevent abnormal noises during braking; 5. Use a piston press pump to push the piston to the position where it cannot move further, then install the new brake pads on the brake caliper. After installing the new brake pads (and the brake sensor line if applicable), tighten the guide bolts to complete the installation; 6. After installation, cover the reservoir cap, get into the car, and press the brake pedal several times to reset the brake. Then check the brake fluid level to ensure it is within the appropriate range; 7. After replacement, test drive the vehicle to check if the braking effect is achieved.
