I recently noticed that my rear brake pads need to be replaced on my Audi 80. I've never done this before and I'm not sure where to start. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to change the rear brake pads on my Audi 80?
ReplyFirst, make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment, including a jack, a socket wrench, and new brake pads. Then, start by removing the wheel and loosening the caliper bolts. Carefully remove the old brake pads and replace them with the new ones. Make sure to properly lubricate the caliper bolts before re-tightening them. Finally, put the wheel back on and repeat the process for the other rear wheel.
When changing brake pads, it's important to remember to also check and possibly replace the brake rotors if they are worn or damaged. You can use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the rotor. If it is below the minimum thickness, it should be replaced to ensure proper braking performance.
Before you start, make sure to thoroughly clean the brake pads and calipers with brake cleaner. This will help remove any dirt and debris and ensure proper contact between the brake pads and rotors.
