The first time I ever changed brake pads I was surprised how easy it was. At the same time I was annoyed at just how much shops charge for such a simple job.

@pollux2825 Жыл бұрын

grease the slides pins whenever you take the caliper off, and tighten to wheel in a star pattern, also when you change the pads you usually want to change the rotors too. the rotors surface will cause uneven pad wear.

@CumminsTech24 Жыл бұрын

Resurface the rotors. Look for the lip on the rotor, if you have a lip you’ll be able to resurface without risking safety

@lonewolf2205 Жыл бұрын

You don’t have to change the rotors every time you swap pads, for each car it varies because you must measure rotor thickness and taper. I work at an auto shop and we usually recommend a rotor change due to if the rotor is out of round of 3 thousands, this is because it causes a big pulsation on the brake pedal, a dial gauge helps with the out of round process check, and we use micrometers to measure the rotor on 8 different areas around the rotor. If the rotor is not out of round and is in specifications it doesn’t require replacement, if it falls out of specs it does. I also did see a comment on resurfacing as well, some shops do it while others don’t. Mostly today it’s kinda rare to find a resurfacing shop out there, but they still do exist. The reason why shops don’t do it is labor costs, each rotor to resurface takes about 15 minutes to having to do a rough cut and slow cut. That’s why so many shops stopped because we lose our shop efficiency, plus resurfacing causes the rotor to be thinner (obvious) but it makes it more prone to warp if the rotor is hot and gets splashed with water causing many customers to come back. It just becomes a big hassle, but hey, if you have a perfectly thick rotor that is newer by all means get it machined!
