Brake pad maintenance method skills

Everyone knows that the brake pads are called brake pads, but there is also a brake shoe. Although it is small in size, it also plays a very important part. How to protect the brake pads? This is very troublesome for the owners. One thing, then follow Xiaobian to see how the brake pads are cured.

Maintenance method:

1. Check the brake shoes once every 5000 km under normal driving conditions, not only check the remaining thickness, but also check the wear state of the shoes. The degree of wear on both sides is the same, whether the return is free or not, and it is found to be abnormal. The situation must be dealt with immediately.

2. The brake shoe is generally composed of two parts: the iron liner and the friction material. Do not replace the shoe after the friction material has been worn out. For example, the front brake shoes of the Jetta, the new piece has a thickness of 14 mm, and the ultimate thickness of the replacement is 7 mm, including more than 3 mm of iron liner thickness and nearly 4 mm of friction material thickness. Some vehicles have a brake shoe alarm function that will alert you to change the shoe once the wear limit is reached. The shoe that has reached the limit of use must be replaced, even if it can be used for a period of time, it will reduce the braking effect and affect the safety of driving.

3. When replacing, you need to change the brake pads provided by the original spare parts. Only in this way can the braking effect between the brake pads and the brake discs be minimized.

4. When replacing the shoe, special tools must be used to push the brake cylinder back. Can not be pressed back with other crowbars, which will easily cause the brake caliper guide screws to bend and the brake pads to be stuck.

5. After the replacement, be sure to step on the brakes to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc, causing the foot to not brake, which is prone to accidents.

6. After the brake shoe is replaced, it is necessary to wear the braking effect that can be achieved by 200 km. The shoe that has just been changed must be driven with caution.

How to replace the brake pads:

1. Loosen the handbrake and loosen the hub screw of the wheel that needs to be braked (note that it is loosened, do not completely unscrew it). Use a jack to top the car. Then remove the tire. Before the brakes, use a special brake cleaning fluid to spray on the brake system to prevent powder from entering the respiratory tract and affecting health.

2. Remove the screws of the brake caliper (for some cars, just unscrew one of them and then loosen the other)

3. Hang the brake caliper with a rope to avoid damage to the brake circuit. Then remove the old brake pads.

4. Use the c-clamp to push the brake piston back to the innermost. (Please note that before this step, lift the hood and unscrew the cover of the brake oil tank, because the liquid level of the brake fluid will rise as the top brake piston). Install the new brake pads.


5. Replace the brake caliper and tighten the caliper screw to the required torque. Replace the tire and tighten the hub screws slightly.

6. Lower the jack and tighten the hub screws thoroughly.

7. Because in the process of changing the brake pads, we put the brake piston to the inside, and it will be empty when we first start to brake. It will be fine after a few steps.

It is also very important to choose the brake pads. The brake pads are determined according to the environment of the car and the driving habits. We often hear accidents due to brake failure, so we need to check and replace the brake pads in time to ensure Safety.
