Brake pad replacement is one of the most vital aspects of motor vehicle maintenance and is a major contribution toward safe driving. Although many drivers choose to take their cars to a garage or mechanic center for brake-pad replacement, it is possible to do the job yourself. This should be a relatively simple task for any persons with an intermediate level of mechanical knowledge.
Step 1 – Remove the Wheels
Park your car on a flat, even surface and make sure that the parking brake is completely engaged. Place the wooden blocks behind the rear tires to keep the vehicle in position when it is jacked. Loosen the wheel bolts but do not remove them completely.
Then, locate the jacking points on each sides of the car and use the trolley jack or portable car jack to lift the front end of the car off of the ground. Place the axle stands in place and lower your vehicle onto them. The wheel bolts can now be fully loosened, and you should now bring out the wheels.
Step 2 – Compress the Brake Caliper
You might want to concentrate on changing one side at a time because if you take both calipers off, it’s possible you could lose the piston out of one of them when compressing the other. You may also turn the car’s steering wheel toward the side you’re working on. Doing so will give more space and therefore better access to the calipers and brake pads.
When you’re set, take the C-clamp and compress the piston of the caliper until it is forced into the brake caliper housing unit. This allows for the caliper assembly to be removed, and it also makes for the additional space required to mount the new brake pads. If your brake calipers need repairs, you should fix them before you continue.
The mounting bolts of the caliper can be unbolted with the use of a ratchet and an appropriate-sized socket, and the caliper should easily come away from the rotor. Occasionally, special keys in hexagonal, torx, or star shapes are needed to do this. Take care not to bend or break the brake hose.
