use a pad wear indicator :)

It is a measure of durability meaning that money is durable.
Nonmetallic feeler gauges are used by technicians to measure the air gap that exists between the coil body and the armature on an electro-magnetic brake. This type of braking system generally can be found on industrial cranes and on marine davit hoist systems.
Don't break the brake handle!
we can make a newtons disc on cd bypasting different colored papers on the cd (vibgyor)and start rotating it
disc brake components
due to presence of dust & small dust particles in the gap.Also if the disc is not aligned properly.
The rotor is the disc in the disc brake system.
It depends if 4 WD or just FWD and what year model Generally: FRONT: Brake pad minimum thickness 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake pad maximum taper wear (in any direction) 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake disc minimum thickness (disc-drum system) 22 mm (0.866 inch) Brake disc minimum thickness (4-wheel disc brake system) 24 mm (0.944 inch) REAR: Brake Pad Brake pad minimum thickness 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake pad maximum taper wear (in any direction) 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake Disc Brake disc minimum thickness 11.0 mm (0.433 inch)
Take the wheels off and measure the diameter of the brake rotor (disc) or drum with a ruler or tape measure.
worn thin
May have the following:Brake wear has been,Assembly may not;Brake disc surface cracks
In case of cost..drum brake is better than disc brake.
Remove the wheels and judge the thickness of the brake pads. There is no adjustment on disc brakes. You will normally wear out 2 sets on the front before you wear out one on the rear.
Usually no. Shoes and discs are parts that wear out, which the caliper isn't expected to do.
There are many purposes to using a disc brake. Disc brakes are mainly used in industrial drills because the disc brake stops the drill gently so it doesn't overheat.
On front disc rear drum vehicle , there is a metering valve to delay the disc brake operation until the rear drum brake shoes overcome the return spring tension . Without the metering valve , the front brake pads will contact with the disc too quickly when the driver apply the brake pedal .A fauty metering valve will cause front brake pads premature wear out . Some vehicle the metering valve housing in one assembly with pressure differential valve and proportioning valve called combination valve .
