Exchange the Brake Pads on ABS
Vehicles equipped with ABS, or anti-lock braking development, hold an engineering servicing that reduces stopping distances and provides more advantageous governance during braking. The performance of these brakes is predicated on the Correct adoption and prolongation of the brakes, including general changing of the brake pads. When brake pad wear is evident, they can be changed by an Car mechanic or you can replace them yourself and save the valuation of labour.
Instructions
1. Lawns the vehicle in an universe that allows you to duty safely on either side of the vehicle. Place the vehicle's transmission in "grassland" (for vehicles with automatic transmissions). District tire blocks ultimate the tires contrary the brakes you Testament convert headmost (rear tires whether you are changing the front brakes cardinal).
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheels with the tire iron. Elevate the vehicle with lifting jack. Replace the wheels and screw on the lug nuts by hand.13. Lift the vehicle to remove the jack stands, then lower the vehicle to the ground.14.
4. City a drip pan below the brakes on the ground.
5. Establish the caliper bolts on the side of the caliper furthest from you. Appliance the 13 mm socket and ratchet to remove the two bolts.
6. Yawning the brake fluid bleed valve located hard by to the top caliper bolts address. Call an adjustable wrench to turn the valve until the brake fluid begins to drip from the opening.
7. Slide the brake pads from the sides on the caliper. The pads are constant to the caliper's sides by metal clips that Testament slide from the sides.
8. Exposed the caliper piston with the vise-grip pliers. The piston is a call that extends from one side of the caliper (the inner side). Squeeze the piston against the side of the caliper. The brake fluid will be expelled from the caliper and should land in the drip pan below.
9. Close the fluid bleed valve with the adjustable wrench.
10. Slide the new pads onto the sides of the caliper by their metal clips.
11. Return the caliper to its normal position around the brake rotors. Insert the caliper bolts and tighten them with the socket and ratchet.
12. Dwelling jack stands below the vehicle frame. Dispensation margin between the tires and the path to remove and modify the wheels.3. Remove the lug nuts and remove the wheels.
Tighten the lug nuts with the tire iron.
15. Press the brake pedal several times to return the brake fluid to the caliper piston. The first few depressions will yield very little pedal resistance. Continually press the brake pedal until it responds normally.
