What to Pay Attention to After Replacing New Brake Pads?
1 Answers
After installing new brake pads, it is essential to press the brake pedal to eliminate the gap between the pads and the brake disc. Use a specialized tool to retract the brake caliper piston: Avoid using other pry bars to force it back, as this can easily bend the caliper guide screws and cause the brake pads to seize. Additionally, perform a low-speed break-in: Accelerate to 60 km/h, then gently apply the brakes to reduce speed to 10-20 km/h. During the break-in period, try to use intermittent braking rather than sudden stops before the pads are properly seated, as this can damage the brakes. Repeat this process about a dozen times to complete the break-in.
