General Installation Steps (Consult a professional):
- Safely lift and support the vehicle, then remove the rear wheels.
- Remove the brake caliper bolts and carefully detach the caliper from the rotor. Do not let the caliper hang by the brake hose.
- Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
- Clean the caliper and caliper bracket thoroughly, removing any rust or debris.
- Apply the provided high-temperature brake lubricant to the caliper slide pins and any metal-to-metal contact points on the new pads and hardware.
- Install the new brake pads and hardware into the caliper bracket.
- Use a caliper piston compression tool to retract the caliper pistons.
- Reinstall the caliper over the new pads and rotor, tightening the caliper bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Irrepeti għan-naħa l-oħra.
- Before driving, pump the brake pedal several times until it feels firm. Check the brake fluid level.
- Perform a proper brake pad break-in procedure as recommended by the vehicle or brake pad manufacturer.
6. Prinċipji Operattivi
Disc brake pads function by creating friction against the brake rotor when the brake pedal is pressed. This friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, slowing and stopping the vehicle. Ceramic brake pads are known for their quiet operation, reduced dust production, and consistent performance across various temperatures.
Brake-in Procedure: After installation, a proper break-in (or bedding-in) procedure is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from varying speeds to properly seat the pads against the rotors. Consult your vehicle's manual or a professional for the recommended procedure.
7. Manutenzjoni
L-ispezzjoni u l-manutenzjoni regolari tas-sistema tal-brejkijiet tiegħek huma vitali għas-sigurtà u l-prestazzjoni.
- Spezzjoni ta' Rutina: Have your brake pads, rotors, and fluid inspected by a qualified technician at least once a year or every 10,000-15,000 miles (16,000-24,000 km), or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Ilbies tal-kuxxinett: Brake pads have wear indicators that will typically produce a squealing sound when they are nearing the end of their lifespan. Do not ignore these warnings.
- Livell tal-Fluwidu: Check your brake fluid level regularly. A low fluid level can indicate worn pads or a leak in the system.
- Kundizzjoni tar-Rotor: Ensure brake rotors are free from deep grooves, cracks, or excessive rust. Rotors may need to be resurfaced or replaced when installing new pads.
8 Issolvi l-problemi
If you experience any issues with your brakes, it is crucial to address them immediately. Do not operate a vehicle with compromised brakes.
- Ħoss ta' tgħajjir/tħin: This often indicates worn brake pads that need replacement. Grinding can mean metal-on-metal contact, which is dangerous and damaging to rotors.
- Vibration During Braking: This can be caused by warped rotors, uneven pad wear, or loose components.
- Soft or Spongy Pedal: May indicate air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, or a faulty master cylinder.
- Pulling to One Side: Could be due to uneven brake pad wear, a seized caliper, or a problem with the brake hose.
If you encounter any of these symptoms, have your vehicle inspected by a professional technician without delay.
