It should be standard practice in workshops to inspect the braking system components, such as brake pads and discs, each time a vehicle is serviced. It would be a guarantee that the vehicle would be safe to drive and in good condition.<\/p>\n
At REMSA we are committed to the daily check of brake pads, discs and brake fluid.<\/p>\n

This is the basic measurement and the first thing to check as the degree of pad wear directly affects brake performance.<\/p>\n
The pads wear according to the force with which the pedal is pressed and the number of times the driver presses the pedal. Accordingly, a pad with the same technical characteristics will last longer or shorter depending on the driving style.<\/p>\n
The brake pad thickness is visually checked by disassembling the hub. It can never be less than 5 mm. If it is, it should be replaced. Never wait until the pad is completely worn out as the steel will rub against the brake disc and could cause damage.<\/p>\n[box_twitter]Always check first on the brake pad thickness, this the basic measurement and the first thing to check as the degree of pad wear directly affects brake performance.[\/box_twitter]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
