Paying attention to the quality of brake pads is very important to your car!
1. Replacement of brake pads
Since each driver steps on the brakes differently, it is difficult to define how often the brake pads need to be replaced. The only way is to check the degree of wear of the brake pads during routine inspections. If it reaches a critical point, it must be replaced immediately.
Disc brake pad replacement is relatively simple. Remove the tire, loosen the screws of the brake caliper, and then you can take off the brake pads and replace them with new ones. The whole process takes at most 5 minutes and does not require any adjustments.
The replacement of drum brakes is a little more difficult. You need to remove the wheel, then remove the brake drum, and then replace the brake pads. Pay attention to the overlap between the new brake pads and the brake drum. If the overlap is not good, sometimes it needs to be polished ;When assembling, it is necessary to adjust the gap between the brake pad and the brake drum. In short, this is a slightly technical job.
2. The correct driving method can make the brake pads last longer
Slamming on the brakes when you have a problem is a favorite of bad drivers, but it's actually a risk 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 someone inexplicably applied the brakes, which caught the car behind him off guard, and there is a great possibility of rear-end collision. This is a typical road killer.
In addition, there are people who only have two options for their feet during driving: refueling and stepping on the brakes. The frequency of stepping on the brakes reached a very high level. In fact, such people are not a minority. The result of doing so is naturally that the brake pads have to be replaced once after 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers.
The correct way to drive is to keep your full attention at all times, keep your eyes on the six roads, stop the fuel and slow down in advance when you find a problem, and decide whether to step on the brakes according to the change of the situation. In doing so, it can not only save gasoline, but also extend the life of the brake pads.
