1 Answers
The situations when brake pads need to be replaced are: 1. The vehicle dashboard has a brake pad wear limit warning light; 2. The thickness of the brake pads is between 1 to 1.5cm, and when the wear thickness is less than 3mm, the brake pads should be replaced promptly; 3. There is brake caliper oil leakage, contaminating the brake pads and soaking into them, and oil stains are still found after sanding with sandpaper, requiring replacement; 4. The brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir decreases; 5. A squeaking sound is heard when braking. The method for replacing brake pads: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level height to prevent brake fluid overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads and tighten the guide bolts.
