Feb 25, 2025

Brake pads belong to the consumables, in use will gradually wear, when the wear to the limit position, must be replaced, otherwise it will reduce the effect of braking, and even cause safety accidents. Brake pads are a matter of life and safety and must be treated with care.

 

 

Most sedans use front disc and rear drum brake structure, in general, the front brake shoe wear relatively fast, the rear brake pads use relatively long time, in the daily inspection and maintenance should pay attention to the following aspects:

 

 

1. Under normal driving conditions,every 5000 kilometers on the brake shoe inspection,not only to check the thickness of the remaining, but also to check the state of the brake pad wear, both sides of the degree of wear is the same, whether the return to the position is free, etc., and found abnormalities must be dealt with immediately.

 

 

2. Brake pads are generally composed of iron lining plate and friction material two parts, must not wait for the friction material part are worn out before replacing the shoes. Some vehicles with brake shoe alarm function, once the wear limit is reached, the meter will alarm to prompt the replacement of shoes. Reached the limit of the use of brake pads must be replaced, even if it can still be used for a period of time, will reduce the braking effect, affecting the safety of driving.

 

 

3. Replace the brake pads with the original spare parts provided by the original manufacturer, only in this way can the brake pads and brake discs between the braking effect is the best, the minimum wear.

 

 

4. When replacing the brake pads, you must use a special tool to push the brake cylinder back. You can't use other pry bar to press back hard, which will easily lead to bending of the caliper guide screws and make the brake pads jammed.

 

 

5. After replacing the brake pads, be sure to step on the brakes a few times to eliminate the clearance between the shoes and the brake disc, resulting in the first foot without brakes, prone to accidents.

 

 

6. After replacing the brake pads, you need to break in 200 kilometers to achieve the best braking effect, just replace the brake pads must be careful driving.
