How to Replace the Brake Pads in the Car?(1)

Method 1: find the brake pad

 

Buy the right brake pads.

 

Brake pads can be bought at any auto parts store and an auto dealer. Just tell them how many years your car has been driven, the technology, and the model. Choose a brake pad with the right price, but generally, the more expensive the brake pad, the longer the service life.

 

There are some expensive brake pads with metal content exceeding the expected range, which may be specially equipped for the racing wheels of road races. Maybe you don't want to buy this kind of brake pad, because the wheels equipped with this kind of brake pad are more vulnerable to wear. At the same time, some people find that famous brand brake pads are less noisy than those cheap ones.

 

 

Make sure your car has cooled down.

 

If you have driven a car recently, the brake pads, calipers, and wheels in the car may be very hot. Make sure their temperature has fallen before you start to do the next step.

 

Loosen the wheel nuts.

 

Loosen the nut on the tire by about 2/3 with the wrench matched with the jack.

 

Don't loosen all the tires at once. Generally, at least two front brake pads or two rear ones will be replaced, depending on the car itself and the smoothness of the brakes. So you can choose to start with the front wheel or the rear wheel.

 

Jack up the car carefully with a jack until there is enough space to move the wheels.

 

Check the instructions to determine the correct position of the jack. Put some bricks around the other wheels to prevent the car from moving back and forth.

 

Place the jack bracket or brick next to the frame. Never rely entirely on jacks. Repeat on the other side to ensure that the support on both sides is stable.

 

Remove the wheel.

 

When the car is jacked up, loosen the car nut and take it away. At the same time, pull out the wheel and remove it.

 

If the edge of the tire is an alloy or there are steel bolts, remove the steel bolts, bolt holes, tire mounting surface, and the rear mounting surface of the alloy tire with a wire brush, and apply a layer of the anti-adhesion agent before refitting the tire.

 

Remove the Tong bolt with a ring wrench of an appropriate model.

 

When the caliper and brake tire models are appropriate, they act like a pair of pliers, which can slow down the speed before the brake pads work, and use the water pressure to increase the friction on the tire. Caliper design is generally one or two pieces, protected by two or four bolts around. These bolts are arranged in the stub shaft, where the tire is fixed. Spraying WD-40 or Pb penetrating catalyst on the bolt will make the bolt easier to move.

 

Check the clamp pressure. The car caliper should move back and forth when it is empty. If you don't do this, when you remove the bolt, the caliper may fly out due to excessive internal pressure. When you check the car, be careful to stand on the outside side, even if the caliper has been loosened.

 

Check whether there is a gasket or performance washer between the caliper mounting bolt and the mounting surface. If so, remove them and remember their location so that they can be replaced later. You need to refit the caliper without the brake pads and measure the distance from the mounting surface to the brake pads to replace them properly.

 

Many Japanese cars use two-piece vernier calipers, so only two forward slide rod bolts with bolt heads of 12-14 mm need to be removed, rather than the entire bolt.

 

Hang the caliper on the tire with wire.

 

The caliper will still be connected to the brake line, so it is necessary to hang the caliper with wire hangers or other waste materials so that there will be no pressure on the flexible brake hose.
