Lightly stepping on the brakes of the car will be accompanied by a "silk" grinding iron sound, which is the symptom that the brakes are about to wear out. At this time, you can get out of the car and observe the thickness of the brake pads of the car. The normal thickness of the brake disc is 1.5cm , And when the thickness of the brake pads is less than 0.5cm observed with the naked eye, no matter how much the car is drivingmileageCount, the brake pads must be replaced in time.andWhen the brake pads are about to wear out, it is best not to continue driving.

When the brake pads of the car are about to wear out, the steel plates of the brake pads will come into direct contact with the brake discs, which will damage the brake discs. Once the brake discs are damaged, they can only go to the 4S shop for replacement. And when the brake disc is worn excessively, the braking ability of the car will be significantly reduced. If the brakes are strenuous, it is possible that the brake pads have basically lost friction. At this time, the brake discs must be replaced to prevent traffic accidents.

Attachment: Steps for replacing car brake pads

1. Select the appropriate brake pads according to the model of the car, then use a wrench to loosen the tire screws, first screw out two-thirds, and then use a jack to support the side where the brake pads are replaced.

2. After the car is supported, unscrew all the screws and remove the tires. At this time, the rotor and brake caliper assembly can be seen. Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts on the back of the caliper assembly. Slide the caliper assembly off the rotor and put it aside carefully to prevent the brake wire from getting stuck.

3. At this time, you can remove the old brake pads from the rotor and replace them with new ones. Remember toBrake FluidGrease is applied to the back of the brake pad to reduce the noise during braking. In addition, be careful not to get grease on other parts, otherwise it will affect the braking ability of the car.

4. The new brake pads will not fit the original caliper assembly. At this time, use the brake tool to reset the piston of the caliper assembly, and then install the tires later.
