Don’t DIY – It Can Be Tricky
Many people assume that they can learn how to replace brake pads by watching a YouTube video or reading about it online. Although changing brake pads seems simple in theory, it can quickly turn into a complicated project. There are a myriad of things that can go wrong with your brake job, which may require additional tools or parts that you don’t have on hand.
Modern cars are becoming increasingly complex. For example, if your vehicle is fitted with an electronic parking brake, an OEM-level scan tool is often needed to retract the calipers if you’re servicing the rear brakes. And that’s typically not something a beginner or DIY mechanic would have in their toolbox. Also, cars equipped with automatic emergency braking typically require additional preparation before you can replace the brake pads.
If you don’t know what you’re looking for, you could potentially be making a very dangerous mistake. For example, the fasteners that secure the brake caliper and the brake caliper mounting bracket (if your car is equipped) need to be torqued to the correct measurement 100% of the time.
Also, after the job is complete, and the wheels are back on the car, don’t forget to pump your brakes several times before driving the vehicle. First, pump the brakes with the engine off and then with the engine running. Pump the brake pedal until it feels firm. If you don’t perform this step, you’ll have little to no braking ability when you go to drive your car. And that can make for a really bad day.
