How to Remove the Brake Pads of Baojun 310?
2 Answers
Baojun 310 brake pad removal method is as follows: 1. Release the handbrake and loosen the hub screws of the wheel that needs brake replacement (note: only loosen, do not completely unscrew them). 2. Use a jack to lift the car and remove the tire. 3. Remove the screws of the brake caliper and hang the brake caliper with a rope to avoid damaging the brake line. Then remove the old brake pads. 4. Use a C-clamp to push the brake piston back to the innermost position and install the new brake pads. 5. Reinstall the brake caliper and tighten the caliper screws to the required torque. Reinstall the tire and slightly tighten the hub screws. 6. Lower the jack and fully tighten the hub screws to complete the replacement.
Removing the brake pads on a Baojun 310 is actually quite straightforward. Let me share my experience: preparation is key. Make sure the car is parked on level ground with the handbrake engaged. After lifting the car with a jack, always use a stand to secure it—safety first. Remove the wheel, and once you see the brake caliper, use a properly sized socket wrench (usually 14mm or 17mm) to loosen the caliper guide pin bolts. Then, remove the caliper and hang it to the side to avoid putting strain on the brake hose. Pry the old brake pads out of the caliper bracket, being careful not to damage the brake disc. At this point, you’ll need to retract the piston—you can use a specialized tool or gently press it back with the old pad and pliers to make room for the new pads. Clean the caliper bracket and slide rails, then apply some high-temperature grease to prevent the new pads from sticking. Finally, install the new pads, reposition the caliper, tighten the bolts, and reattach the wheel. The whole process uses standard tools and typically takes about half an hour, but remember to check the brake fluid level and signs of wear. For regular maintenance, it’s recommended to inspect the brakes every 20,000 kilometers to extend the lifespan of the braking system.
