Why Does the Handbrake Not Hold?
1 Answers
The handbrake not holding is due to the presence of air in the brake fluid. Below is an introduction to the related content of brake shoes: 1. Brake Pads: Brake shoes, also known as brake pads, are consumable items. The wear of brake shoes means that during the use of the car, the brakes will gradually wear down the brake shoes. When the wear reaches its limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, it will reduce braking effectiveness and may even lead to brake failure, causing accidents. 2. Replacement: Some cars have a warning light on the dashboard when the brake shoes are worn, reminding the driver to replace the brake shoes promptly. Generally, new brake shoes are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the brake shoes wear down to less than 5 millimeters, it is recommended to replace them.
