What should be paid attention to when replacing brake pads?
1 Answers
When replacing brake pads, the following points should be noted: 1. During brake pad replacement, special attention must be paid to grinding the edges and corners. Generally, brake pads come with a pre-cut bevel from the factory, commonly known as a "chamfer." In addition to this "chamfer," the edges of the entire friction surface also need to be ground. This process is essentially noise matching. This is because after tens of thousands of kilometers of "intimacy" between the old brake pads and the brake disc, they have formed a certain complementary shape. 2. After replacing the brake pads, try to avoid heavy braking, and especially avoid sudden braking. This is because the friction surface of the new brake pads cannot fully conform to the surface of the brake disc. 3. After installing new brake pads, it's crucial to perform a proper break-in period to ensure the brake pads quickly achieve good conformity with the brake disc, thereby ensuring optimal braking performance.
