⚠️ CARPARTS.COM'S INFOS
- Once the operation is completed, you'll need pump slowly on the brake pedal a few times until feeling a strong resistance from the pedal. The aim being to bring the brake pads closer to one other.
- Don't burn yourself on the pads if you've just gone for a drive as braking creates friction and long-lasting heat.
- Drive smoothly and avoid sudden braking for the first 30 miles or so, to avoid glazing the new pads.
What do we mean by "glazing new brake pads"? Brake pads are made of a material that needs to be run-in when new. If this procedure is not done properly, when braking too hard, the material overheats and hardens. Consequently, the brakes become less effective.
- For this operation, it is essential to have a brake caliper wind-back tool, which is a specific tool that allows you to press the piston into the caliper but also to make it turn on itself to reset the slack adjuster of your handbrake.
