Replace brake pads yourself

August 18, 2024

It is almost ten thousand kilometers away from the brake pads to call the police, and it is better to listen to the opinions of the car friends.

This is the first time the brake pads alarm, send a post to consult the gods how to clear the prompt.

I looked at it and felt that the brake pads were still very thick, so I conservatively estimated that it would be no problem to run another 10,000, so I bought an induction cable online to replace it, and then reset the tips according to the tutorial.

I immediately trotted for ten thousand more, thinking that I had to replace the brake pads anyway, so I bought the brake pads in the east and replaced them myself during the National Day holiday.

The Braber brake shoes I bought are still very famous. I have never used such expensive brake pads before. I want to buy them for every penny and try them.

Get the tools ready first, because the 5 series is a blowout-proof tire, so there is no Jack or tire sleeve. I had to use a Jack from another car. I originally bought a hydraulic type, but the site was too low to use, so I had to use the hand type.

Fortunately, I have a full range of tools. First use the No. 17 sleeve to loosen the tire screw, do not remove it, just loosen it.

Then use a Jack to hold the rubber mat. I took a look at one around the front and back, which should be specially used to lift the Jack.

The tires can be removed when the car is pushed up. I got the left front wheel first because there is an induction line in front of the left. The brake pads have induction lines in front of the left and back of the right.

Also use my other tools to remove caliper screws, its practical first set of tools is enough, but I already have two sets of tools, feel a little smaller and easier. The two screws are easy to disassemble, and then the calipers can be removed.

As a person working, and the hands are dirty, the picture is not very detailed, this is removed brake pads, internal and external wear is not the same, the inside is obviously much thinner.

These are the new brake pads, and compared with the picture, the new brake pads are really much thicker. I don’t know if it’s because of the German department? It feels like the new brake pads are much thicker than the new brake pads of my other two cars. (one Korean suv and one domestic mpv).

This is the appearance of pretending. I don’t think there is any technical content to install it as it is disassembled. But because of the new brake pads, the brake calipers certainly won’t fit back. Because the brake sub-pump is still the position of the old brake pads, we need to find a way to reset it. I used the old brake pads and pried it back little by little.

This kind of tool is also available online, and I didn’t buy it. Cyclists who need it can also buy it.

Because the hands are so dirty. I didn’t take too many pictures, and this is all the brake pads to change. Talking about the feeling of running hundreds of kilometers, it is certainly no worse than the original car. I don’t feel anything else. My driving is relatively stable, and I don’t have a sudden brake, so I don’t have the ultimate feeling. In short, it is still worth recommending, of course, the price you see is the original price, you can ask for a discount from customer service.

Finally, the gift of buying brake pads is attached, which feels more exquisite.
Next time send a tutorial on changing the air filter element. After so many maintenance (six times when I bought a car), I only changed the air filter element and a gasoline filter element once in the 4s store, as well as the spark plug (the spark plug was because Beijing called me back, and I gave it high praise. The 4s store sent a 1000 yuan voucher, which is just right to change the spark plug. I asked that changing the air filter element after sale does not affect the quality assurance. I haven’t consulted about other accessories, but I’m going to replace them myself. The gasoline filter element has been bought online and has not been replaced (this has to go to the repair shop). The spark plug is going to buy a torque wrench to replace it. Change the gearbox oil for 80,000 yuan. In fact, it is easier to learn about your car by doing it yourself, and there is no need to go to 4s stores for all projects. Finally, I wish you all a happy National Day!
