How to check the brake pads
1. The specific method for checking the wear degree of brake pads is as follows: Look at the thickness of the friction pad: The brake pad consists of two parts, one layer is a metal base plate, and the other layer is a friction pad. When braking, the friction pads come into contact with the brake discs, creating friction and acting as brakes.
2. How do I check the brake pads myself? Method 1: Check the thickness. A new brake pad usually has a thickness of about 5cm, and the thickness will gradually become thinner with continuous friction during use.
3. Trip computer prompt: (For vehicles with detection display on the car trip computer) Generally, a red word "Please check the brake pads" will appear in the alarm. Then there is an icon, which is a circle surrounded by several dashed brackets. Generally, when displayed, it indicates that the limit is approaching and needs to be replaced immediately.
4. If there is a slight sound of "iron rubbing against iron" while lightly braking, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. Because the limit markings on both sides of the brake pads have directly rubbed against the brake disc, it proves that the brake pads have exceeded their limit.
5. The brake inspection method is as follows: Check the appearance method: Observe the appearance of the brake disc to see if there is too much mud or dust. If your car is dusty, wash it quickly. Attention: Do not flush the brake pads when the brake disc is hot, as this may cause deformation of the brake disc.
How to check the brake pads
If it is a drum brake, it cannot be checked by visual inspection. You can use the following two methods to determine whether the brake shoes in the brake drum need to be replaced.
The specific method for checking the wear degree of brake pads is as follows: Look at the thickness of the friction pad: The brake pad consists of two parts, one layer is a metal base plate, and the other layer is a friction pad. When braking, the friction pads come into contact with the brake discs, creating friction and acting as brakes.
If there is a faint sound of "iron rubbing against iron" when colleagues lightly apply the brakes, it is recommended to replace the brake pads immediately. Because the limit markings on both sides of the brake pads have directly rubbed against the disc, it proves that the brake pads have exceeded the limit.
Method of replacing brake pads: Open the engine compartment to check the height of the brake fluid page to prevent brake fluid from overflowing during the replacement process; Remove the wheel on which the brake is located; Remove the bolts from the brake caliper and remove the brake pads; Install a new brake pad and tighten the guide bolt. The response and stroke of the brakes.
How to inspect and replace car brake pads?
1. Check the thickness of the brake pads. When the thickness of the brake pads becomes very thin, the braking performance will significantly decrease, affecting driving safety. The thickness of new brake pads is generally around 5cm. Trip computer prompts for replacement.
2. Therefore, when the thickness of the brake pads approaches this mark, the car owner should always observe and prepare. However, it is difficult to accurately observe with the naked eye without dismantling the tires. It is recommended to go to a 4S store or a regular repair shop for inspection to determine whether replacement is necessary.
3. So we can also directly check the wear level of the brake pads. Generally, it needs to be checked every 3000 kilometers. If it is found that the brake pads have worn to one-third, they must be replaced. If the brake pads (severely worn) are not replaced in a timely manner, there will be varying degrees of impact
