Is Deep Brake Maintenance Necessary?
1 Answers
Deep brake maintenance is necessary. It is recommended to perform deep brake maintenance every 20,000 kilometers. Deep brake maintenance can effectively prevent common brake system failures, which can be divided into the following four steps: 1. Oil and dirt cleaning: Use brake disc cleaner to clean the brake disc (drum), brake pads, brake calipers, and tires of oil and dust. The cleaner evaporates quickly, leaves no residue after drying, and contains no corrosive components. 2. Brake caliper lubrication: Before using brake caliper lubricant, carefully clean the caliper area. Apply the lubricant evenly on the caliper connecting shaft to effectively keep the caliper bushings soft, prevent corrosion, and extend the caliper's lifespan. 3. High-temperature protection: The high temperatures generated during braking can easily cause heat damage to brake components. High-temperature-resistant protectant can specifically prevent damage to the brake system, withstanding temperatures up to 1400°C. Apply the high-temperature protectant to the back of the brake pads for long-lasting lubrication, preventing brake seizure and making disassembly easier. 4. Easy disassembly: Anti-noise grease is a high-pressure, high-adhesion lubricant suitable for temperatures ranging from -80°C to 1100°C. After cleaning the brake system, lubricating the caliper, and applying high-temperature protection, apply the anti-noise grease to the axle head position. It provides excellent lubrication, prevents sintering, and ensures easy disassembly.
