How Worn Are The Brake Pads? They Must Be Replaced

Brake pads, also known as brake shoes, belong to consumables and will gradually wear when used. When the brake pads are worn to the limit position, it is necessary to replace them, otherwise the braking effect will decline, and even cause safety accidents. Brake shoes are very important and need to be treated with caution. The brake pad manufacturer teaches you how to check and replace the brake pads!
1. Under normal traveling conditions, check the brake shoe every 5000 km, not only to check the remaining thickness, but also to check the wear of the brake shoe, whether the wear degree on both sides is the same, whether it can return freely, etc. If any abnormality is found, it is necessary to deal with it immediately.
2. The brake shoe is generally composed of iron lining plate and conflict data. Do not replace shoes until the conflicting data is worn out. Some vehicles are equipped with brake shoe alarm function. Once the wear limit is reached, the instrument will give an alarm and prompt to replace the boots. It is necessary to replace shoes that reach the limit of use. Even if it can be used for a period of time, the braking effect will decline, and the driving safety will be affected.
3. When replacing, replace the brake pads supplied by the original spare parts. Only in this way can the braking effect between the brake pad and the brake disc reach the state of 2 and the wear is very small.
4. When replacing the sliding shoe, it is necessary to use special tools to push the brake cylinder back. It is not allowed to press back with other crowbars, which may cause the guide screw of the brake caliper to bend and block the brake pad.
5. After replacement, it is necessary to step on the brake several times to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc, resulting in no brake on the top foot, which is easy to cause trouble.
6. After replacing the brake shoe, it is necessary to travel 200 kilometers to reach the braking effect of 2. It is necessary to carefully control the brake shoe just replaced.
