Method for replacing the brake pads of Wuling Zhiguang: 1. Reset the piston in the middle of the brake caliper; 2. Remove the fixed screws of the brake caliper and take off the brake pads; 3. After installing the new brake pads, secure the brake caliper screws, and press the brake pedal several times before starting the vehicle. Wuling Zhiguang is a model produced by Liuzhou Wuling, with a body length, width, and height of 3890mm, 1525mm, and 1822mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2500mm, a top speed of 130km/h, tire model of 165/70R13C, and equipped with an inline four-cylinder, double overhead camshaft, 16V multi-point fuel injection gasoline engine.
Hey, I changed the brake pads on my Wuling Zhiguang last year. The braking system on this car is pretty straightforward, even beginners can handle it. First, you need to park on a flat surface, pull the handbrake tight to ensure safety, and place wheel chocks behind the rear or front wheels to prevent rolling. Use a jack to lift the wheel, loosen the wheel bolts, and remove the tire. Next, remove the fixing bolts of the brake caliper, carefully move the caliper aside, and you can take out the old brake pads. Clean off any dust or rust from the brake disc and the mounting bracket. When installing the new brake pads, avoid touching the friction surface with your hands to prevent grease from affecting performance. Finally, tighten the caliper bolts back into place. Reinstall the tire and bolts, lower the jack, and gently press the brake pedal a few times to test the braking effect. The whole process takes about two hours, and the tools needed are just a jack, a wrench, and a screwdriver. But remember, brake pads come in semi-metallic and ceramic materials. Small vans like the Wuling mostly use semi-metallic ones for better cost performance. Doing it yourself can save about 200 yuan in labor costs, but if the brake disc is severely worn, it should be replaced together.
