How do you stop your feet from slipping when braking?

What should I do before installing a pad and rotor?

Have the following parts and specialty tools available before you start a pad and rotor installation: We also recommend using safety glasses and gloves during the installation. Have the vehicle in the park position and make sure it is on a hard, level surface. Then, check the brake fluid level at the reservoir.

Where do you put the brake pads on a new car?

With new thicker pads, you must return the piston back inside the caliper body to give the thicker pads room for installation. Using a piston compressor or a large C-clamp, place a used brake pad over the face of the piston to protect the surface from marring, and begin compressing the piston.

How can you tell when your brake pads need to be changed?

You can also tell if the brakes should be replaced if you hear noise from the wear sensor on the pad. However, some parts do not have wear sensor clips, i.e. noisemaking clips that are mounted on the brake pad to tell you when the pads need to be changed. If you hear a screeching sound when you apply the brakes, then you are due for a brake change.

How are the brake pads attached to the spindle?

The caliper mounting bracket is bolted to the spindle, and holds the brake pads in position relative to the brake rotor. The caliper fits over the pads and is fastened to the brackets with special sliding bolts. These bolts usually have dust boots.
