Must Brake Pads Be Replaced at a 4S Shop?
1 Answers
Brake pads do not necessarily need to be replaced at a 4S shop. The steps for replacing brake pads are as follows: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during the replacement process; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Unscrew the bolts of the brake caliper and remove the brake pads; 4. Install the new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement. Types of brake pads include: semi-metallic brake pads, non-metallic brake pads, carbon fiber brake pads, and ceramic fiber brake pads. The working principle of brake pads is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby bringing the vehicle to a stop.
