Spring is warm and the flowers are blooming on the road to work, and the noise is abnormal and the powder is dropped to say goodbye. BMW 5 Series is replacing wear-resistant brake pads

The rear brakes have fallen off powder and have abnormal noises. I have wanted to replace them for a long time before the New Year. At the end of the year, things were extremely busy, and coupled with the COVID-19 epidemic, many auto repair shops were not open. It was delayed until the end of March, and finally they were replaced in a friend’s shop. It was really full of twists and turns. Write an assignment and make a brief record. Everyone is welcome to exchange and correct them.

Change it at a friend’s store, put it on shelves, and prepare homework

My brother removed tires very quickly, and the entire braking system was quickly exposed

You can see that the old film is still quite thick, but it has no choice but to lose powder and make abnormal noises. It should have been replaced long ago.

Take a wrench to loosen the screws, and the little brother is on camera (during the epidemic, masks are necessary)

Release the brake cylinder and remove the old brake pads

Old film, Korean brand, Hadron, recommended by the auto repair shop to replace it. Let’s take a close-up. It’s stained and rusty. It’s hard to lose powder without thinking about it (there won’t be a second time)

The new film, Spanish brand, wear-resistant, recommended by old drivers of the MoC Club, feels much more reliable

The workmanship of the wear-resistant brake pads is not bad. Hadron complained about his powerlessness

From another perspective, this comparison, there are tons of damage

Without saying much nonsense, install it, the piston slipped loose during disassembly, and now I need to use a tool to adjust it

The new film fits tightly, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder expresses its comfort

The partial pump is reset, and then the screws are reset

The tire is reset again, changed to the other side, and repeated the same steps without going into detail

After completing the project, I felt refreshed when I looked at the new film with a hint of excitement

Come on, go home

With new brake pads, the brake experience is completely new, which is reflected on the way back: the brake feet feel moderate, not too soft, nor too hard, maybe it will be better after the running-in period. The most important thing is that there is no abnormal sound! No powder dropped! My ears are clear and my mood is much more comfortable. I can finally drive back to work and return to work happily.
Finally, I pray that the epidemic will disperse soon, and everyone will usher in the day when they take off their masks and laugh in the sun. Come on!
