oil your breaks
Wear indicators? Pad replacement required?
I assume you're referring to Brake Pad anti-squeel. To the back of the Brake Pad (with the clips) and not the side that presses against the Brake rotor (material side).
Brake pads worn or dirt lodged in brake pad
what sould the cost be for new roders and break pad on the rear breaks for a 2008 dodge careavan
Mine does the same. I'm fairly certain it's the break pad rubbing against something b/c the squeek noise only hits at a certain rotation of the wheel (similar to what would happen with a brake pad rubbing the bent rim on a bicycle). Anyways, likely problem is that so start there
I had the same problem. It sounds worse than the old breaks. I upgraded to a break pad that has copper in it. It is a softer pad, but works great. Also get the rotors turned. That will fix the problem.
take the wheel off ofcourse. Then take a large flathead screwdriver and wedge it between the roderand the break pad and pry the pad away for the roder. Take the two hex cap screws off of the break caliper and pull caliper off. Replace the pads and put caliper and the wheel back on. pump the breaks a few times and then start your car and you should be good to go
to avoid accident because break pad is meant to greep and the tyre
There is a warning clip on the outside brake pad on either side. It is a small metal piece that will start to squeek when stopping at low speed. generic pads wont last long after that point so i recomend replacing them soon. If the pads do not squeek or have the warning clip there should be at least 1/8 of an inch on all pads. Depends a lot on how you brake. If you accelerate to every red light and put on the brakes hard, you might last a year and a half. If you take it easy, two and a half, three years.
im not sure
remove wheels, looking at the break pad harness (caliper) should be a little silver spring, pop that off with a screwdriver, and then pull the caliper off, (may need a bit of persuading) and then your at the break pad, if you pull them towards you at the bottom and then slide them out at the top. jobs a good un.
First determine if it is the front or the back breaks. All break pads and shoes have a small piece of metal that will rub against the rotor or drum to alert the driver that the pads or shoes need to be replaced. This is to save the driver the expence of having to replace your rotor or drum from severe scratches due to the breaks reaching the bottom. They usually set to scrape and make noise with 1/4 of the break pad left. Remember to do both sides at the same time. That is the front or the back.
