How long do the brake pads of flat transport vehicles usually need to be replaced

 People often ask,Flatbed carrierBrake padHow often is it appropriate to replace。That's a difficult question to answer。In addition to running long distances to save braking, it is important to drive properly, such as the amount of driving ahead, if you can master it well, you will find that many times there is no need to brake。Generally speaking, a pair of brake pads with 100,000 kilometers is no problem, if used well, it can even reach 150,000 kilometers。

　Brake constraints

　Often hear people complain that the brakes are not working, or the brakes are too soft, and the conclusion is that the car is not good。In fact, there are several constraints on whether the braking effect is significant。

　One: Whether the brake fluid is within the effective range。The manual of many flat transport vehicles requires regular replacement of brake fluid (such as every two years).。This requirement of the manufacturer is somewhat conservative, but the purpose is for the safety of the owner。Because the brake fluid is used for a long time, the performance will be reduced, thus reducing the braking effect。There is also a major reason that if there is air in the brake fluid, even a very small amount of air will greatly reduce the braking effect。

　Two: Whether the brake pads meet the requirements。When the brake pads wear to a certain extent, the braking effect will decrease significantly, and it is time to replace the brake pads。In addition, even if there is a crack in the brake pad, it will directly affect the braking effect。

　Three: Road conditions。In ice, snow, rain and other weather conditions, the road becomes very slippery, and the braking distance will be greatly extended。In addition, sand, gravel, and even dusty roads will also reduce the braking effect。The braking effect of asphalt road and cement road is also different, and the braking effect of asphalt road is better than that of cement road under the same condition。

　Because each driver brakes at different frequencies, it is difficult to define how often the brake pads need to be replaced。The only way to do that is beforeFlatbed carrierWhen routine inspection, look at the degree of wear and tear of the brake pads, if it reaches a critical point, it must be replaced immediately。

　Brake pad replacement

　Brake pad replacement of disc brake is relatively simple。Remove the tire, loosen the screw of the brake clamp, you can take off the brake pads, and then put on a new one, the whole process is up to 5 minutes, and no adjustment is required。

　Drum brake replacement is slightly more difficult, need to remove the wheel, and then remove the brake drum, and then to replace the brake pads, pay attention to the new brake pads and brake drum overlap between the situation, overlap is not good, sometimes need to polish;When assembling, it is necessary to adjust the gap between the brake pads and the brake drum。Anyway, it's a slightly technical job。

　The right way to drive can make the brake pad longevity

　Slam on the brakes when you encounter some problems, which is the love of people with poor driving skills, but in fact, it is also a hidden danger of accidents。I believe you may have such an experience: the car in front of you is going well, and there is nothing wrong with the road ahead, but people somehow came to a brake, making the rear car caught off guard, and there is a possibility of rear-end collision。This is a classic road killer。

　The correct way to drive is to keep your concentration at all times, look at the six roads, find problems in advance to slow down, and decide whether to brake according to changes in the situation。In this way, it can save gasoline and extend the life of the brake pads。
