Should Brake Pads Be Replaced Along with Brake Discs?

[DelAustin]

Whether to replace brake pads along with brake discs depends on the wear condition of both components. If the brake pads have been recently replaced and show minimal wear, there is no need to replace them. Brake pads play a crucial role in braking and are composed of a steel plate, adhesive heat insulation layer, and friction material. The steel plate undergoes anti-rust coating, with the coating process monitored by a furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. Steps for replacing brake pads: 1. Release the handbrake, loosen the hub bolts of the wheel requiring brake service, and use a jack to lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Remove the tire to expose the brake caliper and disc, applying lubricant to loosen any screws or nuts that need to be removed; 3. Secure the brake caliper with a rope and remove the old brake pads; 4. Open the hood and unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir; 5. Install the new brake pads in the correct position.
