How to Self-Check Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Self-checking brake pads can be done as follows: 1. Check the thickness: A new brake pad is generally about 1.5cm thick. As it wears down through use, the thickness gradually decreases. When the visible thickness of the brake pad is only about 1/3 of the original (approximately 0.5cm), the owner should increase the frequency of self-checks and be prepared to replace them at any time. 2. Feel the braking force: When the brake pads become thin, the braking effect of the car will be affected. At this time, you need to press the brake pedal deeper to achieve the braking effect that was previously achieved with a light press, and the braking effect in the first half of the pedal travel will be significantly weakened.
