How to Service Brakes
2
Loosen the lugs.

• While the car is on the ground, you should use a
  lug wrench or an impact wrench to loosen the lug
  nuts. Doing it this way prevents the tires from
  spinning. This helps break the lugs loose more
  efficiently and more safely.

3
Jack up the car

•  Consult your service manual for safe jacking
  points. Slide the jack under the car and position
  it directly under the jacking point. Jack the car
  up and secure it with jack stands.

4
Remove the wheels

• . Now that the car is lifted, the weight will no
  longer be on the tires. You can finish removing
  the lugs either by hand or with your wrench.
  Then, simply slide the wheel away from the
  wheelbase.

5
Locate the brake caliper

• Now that you have the wheel off, you will be
  looking directly at your CAR BRAKE rotor. Mounted
  on the rotor you will see your brake caliper. The
  brake caliper holds the brake pads against the
  rotor on either side.

6
Remove the brake caliper as a single unit

• CAR BRAKE calipers differ slightly from car to
  car, but they are always held in place by bolts
  or clips. These are usually located at the top
  and bottom of the caliper.

7
Inspect the brake pads for wear or damage

• Some brake pads have a groove in the middle that
  serves as an indicator for wear. If the groove is
  nearly gone, the pads are in need of changing. In
  any case, if the pad is less than ¼ inch thick or
  is chipped or damaged, CAR BRAKE needs replaced.

8
Make note of any damage on the calipers

• Your calipers should not need replaced, as they
  are designed to last for the life of the car.
  That being said, if there is damage on the
  caliper it might need replaced. Also, it is
  possible that the bolts or pins that hold the
  caliper in place could be damaged. If this is the
  case you will need to replace those CAR BRAKE

9
Take a close look at the brake rotor

• The CAR BRAKE disc, or rotor, is another
  important part of the braking system. When the
  brakes are applied, the pads press down on the
  rotor to create the friction needed for stopping.
  This generates a lot of pressure and heat.
