I have noticed that my Audi 80's brake pads are starting to wear out and I want to replace them myself. Is there a specific procedure I need to follow or any special tools I need to use to ensure a successful replacement?
ReplyFirstly, make sure to have a brake pad spreader tool handy as it will help compress the caliper pistons. As for the procedure, start by removing the caliper from the rotor and then the old brake pads. Next, install the new pads and reattach the caliper. Remember to securely tighten all bolts.
Before starting the replacement, inspect the brake rotors for any signs of wear or damage. If they appear worn or damaged, it may be necessary to resurface or replace them. Additionally, always use brake pads specifically designed for your Audi 80 to ensure proper fit and function.
To avoid any brake noise or vibration after replacing the pads, it is recommended to apply an anti-squeal or brake pad lubricant to the back of the pad before installation. This will help reduce any potential noise and ensure smooth brake operation.
