Disc Brake Repair recommended procedure
1. Check the lateral offset, parallelism and minimum thickness specifications of the brake disc. Compare with manufacturer specifications.
2. Clean all brake discs (including new ones) with hot soapy water and a stiff brush to remove oil stains and fine particles, prevent noise and maximize braking efficiency.
3. In order to make the brakes have a long service life and silence, we recommend:
Use a wire brush or sandblasting to remove rust from the caliper carrier/guide bushing.
Replace additional hardware.
Lubricate "metal to metal" contacts (carriage to bushing/ bushing to disc) with molybdenum disulfide high temperature lubricant.
Lubricate the "metal-to-rubber" friction points (between guide pin and sliding foot) with high temperature silicone grease or qualified molybdenum disulfide lubricant.
Lubricate the piston contact area between the brake pads and any pads with spacers attached (internal disc brake pads).
Test drive the vehicle and properly break in (sand) the new brake pads:
- Approx. 20 "full brakes" at 48 mph, or 20 "slow decelerations" from 80 to 32 mph, with light to moderate pedal pressure, between There is at least a 30 second cooldown in between.
- Tell the customer to keep running in to avoid brake abuse for the next two or three days.
