well i just changed the brakes on my Mazda mx3 what you do is take the 2 pins out of the calipers which is holding the pads in place and then you are able to remove the pads
you need to take off both caliper bolts and remove the caliper from the carriage... most Mazda calipers will not pivot...
take off the tire remove the caliper replace the brake disc if necessary and replace brake pads on the calipers reassemble do this for every tire to wish to change at that time
If you take it to a dealer you can expect to pay around $165 for the parts and labor. An independant shop would be less at about $125.
take it to a brake specialist
Jack your truck up, take your tires off, and look at the brakes, you can usually see them. if not you need to take the piston housing off that pushes the brake pads against the rotor. another clue that your brake pads are worn is your brake fluid. if its low it usually means your pads are worn (the more you have to push on the brakes to get the pads to push on the rotor the more fluid is used) Jack your truck up, take your tires off, and look at the brakes, you can usually see them. if not you need to take the piston housing off that pushes the brake pads against the rotor. another clue that your brake pads are worn is your brake fluid. if its low it usually means your pads are worn (the more you have to push on the brakes to get the pads to push on the rotor the more fluid is used)
yes
All vehicles have brake pads.mine has disk brakes and the pads take about 10 minutes a piece to change.
its not that hard but if someone asks how to replace something than the best thing for you to do is take it to a shop. it would be alot easyer and head ache free.
Changing brake pads can be easy once you do it once. You have to jack up the car so the tire is off the ground. Take off the tire. You will see a round ring which is the rotor. On top of the rotor are the brake pads. You will need a socket to take them off.
Lift the car on a jack, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/caliper and take out the old brake pads. Put in the new brake pads, replace the brake shoe/caliper, replace the tire and lower the car to the ground.
Changing the brake pads on a Honda Accord is relatively simple. With a few simple tools, one can replace the pads in about one hour.
