Driving Determines Brake Pad Life
It is often asked how often the brake pads should be replaced. This is a difficult question to answer. In addition to the frequent long-distance running, which saves the brake, the most important thing is whether the driving style is appropriate, such as the amount of driving advance. If you can grasp it well, you will find that you don't need to step on the brake at all many times. Generally speaking, it's OK to use a pair of brake pads for 100000 km. If used well, it can even reach 150000 km. Let's share some tips on how to use brake pads to keep your car in good condition for a long time.
Brake pad replacement
Because the frequency of each driver's brake is different, it is difficult to define how long the brake pads need to be replaced. The only way to do this is to check the wear of the brake pads during routine inspection and replace them immediately if they reach the critical point.
The disc brake pad replacement is relatively simple. Remove the tire, loosen the screw of the brake caliper, and then take off the brake pad, and then replace it with a new one. The whole process can be up to 5 minutes without any adjustment.
Drum brake replacement is slightly difficult. It is necessary to remove the wheel, then remove the brake drum, and then replace the brake pad. Pay attention to the coincidence between the new brake pad and the brake drum. If the coincidence is not good, sometimes it needs to be polished; during assembly, the clearance between the brake pad and the brake drum should be adjusted. In short, this is a work with a little technical content.
● the correct driving mode can make the brake pad live long
It's the favorite of people with poor driving skills to step on the brake when they encounter some problems, but it's also a hidden danger of accidents. I believe you may have such an experience: the car in front is going well, and there is nothing wrong with the road ahead, but people somehow put on the brake, which makes the car behind caught off guard, and there is a great possibility of rear end collision. This is the typical road killer.
In addition, there are also people in the driving process, the foot has only two choices: refueling, brake. The frequency of braking has reached a very high level. In fact, such people are not a few. As a result, the brake pads will have to be replaced once every 20000-30000 km.
The right way to drive is to stay focused at all times, watch the road, pick up the fuel and slow down in advance when problems are found, and decide whether to step on the brake or not according to the changes of the situation. In this way, the gasoline can be saved and the service life of the brake pad can be prolonged.
