There really is no set time or even mileage. If good quality brake pads and s hoes are fitted, they will last a long time. Most disc brake pads have 'squealer' plates, these are thin tin plates that screech when your pads need to be replaced. I like to keep a good eye on all essential features of my car, so I take off the wheels and check my pads and shoes at least twice a year.
You should change every two to three years depending on how often you use the vehicle.
Rotors only need to be surfaced when they are worn or have overheated. If the brake pads are changed before being completely worn out, the rotors are usually fine.
At each oil change or once a year.
* Lift truck using your floor jack (use jack stands for safety) * Remove rim * Remove bottom bolt on caliper using 3/4 inch socket * Loosen top bolt on caliper using 3/4 inch socket * Now pull caliper and it should swing up * Remove old brake pads by pulling ( Only your fingers needed ) * Install new brake pads * Grease back side of brake pads with your choice brake grease * Compress pistons with piston comressor ( I bought mine at an auto part store for $8.00) * Pull caliper back over brake pads * Screw in bottom bolt and tighten * Tighten top bolt * Put your rim back on * Follow same instructions for other side * Drink your favorite beer
The caliper holds 2 brake pads in
if they screech for the most part it is a good indication you need new pads there is a metal indicator that when brake pads wear down will start scraping against the rotor now if you know the break pads are good or new screeching is common for the first few days if it continues it could be that you did not apply brake grease to the back of the pad where the pad meets the caliper if that's the case take them off and get a couple tubes of brakde grease (not that expensive) and put them on the back of the pads BUT DO NOT PUT THEM ON THE ACTUAL PAD WHERE IT WOULD CONTACT THE ROTOR that will make your brakes fail
probably, if the pads are worn, or the rotors \ drums are scarred, there will be a grinding noise, plus you should be able to feel it through the brake pedal. most modern brake systems have quealers on the pads to tell you when they are getting worn and should be replaced. If you have a disc brake system, you should be able to inspect the rotors quite easily. Look for gouges in the surface of the rotor. If they are badly gouged, they should be turned or replaced.
You will need a 7mm hex key. Everything else is very straightforward.
There is no set time or even mileage to change ANY brake pads. It depends entirely on the quality of pads and how you drive. -You should check them every 6 months and when they get down to 3/32 of brake material that's the time to change.
It depends on the brand of brake pad and your driving habits. Normally, you'll get somewhere between 30,000 - 50,000 miles from a set of pads.
How often to change the brake pads in any vehicle depends on where the person lives and their driving habits. Generally, brake pads are replaced every 20,000 to 180,000 depending on the type of brake pads and the variables mentioned above.
After 20000 miles
Generally, brake pads should be changed between 20,000 and 180,000 miles. This depends on the brand of the brake pads, and the persons driving habits.
There is no set time to change the pads. How often depends on how you drive. They may last 20,000 to 80,000. Inspect them every so often and listen for the squeal of the warning device. Replace immediately if you hear this.
