How to Replace the Brake Pads in the Car?(2)

Method 2: replace the brake pads

 

Remove all old brake pads.

 

Pay attention to how each brake pad is connected, which is usually clamped together by metal clips. It may take a little effort to make it pop out, so be careful not to damage the caliper and brake line when taking it out.

 

 

Install new brake pads.

 

At this time, apply anti-seize lubricant on the edge of the metal surface and behind the brake pad to prevent noise. However, do not apply an anti-skid agent to the brake pad, because if it is applied to the brake pad, the brake will lose friction and become ineffective. Install the new brake pad as the old one.

 

Check the brake fluid.

 

Check the brake fluid in the car and add more if it is not enough. Replace the storage cap of brake fluid after adding.

 

Replace the caliper.

 

Screw the caliper onto the rotor and turn it slowly to prevent damaging other things. Replace the bolt and tighten it.

 

Put the wheel back on.

 

Put the wheel back on the car and tighten the wheel nuts before lowering the car.

 

Tighten the wheel nuts.

 

When the vehicle is lowered to the ground, tighten the wheel nuts into a star. Tighten one nut first, and then tighten the other nuts according to the torque specification according to the cross pattern.

 

Read the manual to find the torque specification of your car. This can ensure that each nut is tightened to prevent the tire from falling off or overtightening.

 

Start the car.

 

Make sure the car is in neutral or stopped. Apply the brake 15 to 20 times to ensure that the brake pads are placed in the correct position.

 

Test new brake pads.

 

Drive the car on the street with small traffic, but the speed should not exceed 5 kilometers per hour, and then step on the brake. If the car stops normally, do another experiment. This time, increase the speed to 10 kilometers per hour. Repeat several times, gradually increasing to 35 km / h or 40 km / h. Then back up to check the brakes. These braking experiments can ensure that your brake pads are installed without problems, and can give you confidence when you drive on the road.

 

In addition, these test methods can also help to install the brake pads in the correct position.

 

Listen for any problems. The new brake pads may produce noise, but you should listen to whether there is the sound of crushing and scraping between metal and metal, because there may be brake pads installed in the wrong direction (such as upside down inside and outside). These problems must be solved immediately.
