Summary: Brakes are a relatively simple mechanism in your car's operation, but oh so crucial to your personal safety. And they do require require regular maintenance. The steel plates that equipped with friction material to ensure proper stopping power for your vehicle are commonly known as brake pads. Drum and disc brakes convert kinetic energy in order to make the brake and the rotor "stick", causing a decrease in acceleration. Sometimes a car owner will want to install brake pads that surpass the factory standard to acclimate a car to different climates or capabilities. In these situations, it is important to understand not only how brake pads work, but what temperature they function at and how to install them properly.

In this free video clip series, our expert will demonstrate brake pad installation, including instructions locating caliper bolts, removing the tires for disc brake changes, as well as rotor, caliper and brake pad cleaning techniques. Save yourself time and money by watching these videos and doing it yourself. Our expert won't let you down!
