hi everybody

when it is the time to replace my brake pads ,

shall i make pad thickness measurements or wiat until i get the alarm in my instrument board .

thanks guys

 

How are you going to measure the pad thickness without taking the caliper off?

 

so , i understand that i have to wait until the alarm is shaown up in the board

 

You can simply look at the pads through the rim spokes/holes to determine how worn they are. The pads in the attachments have only about 1k miles on them. You can see where the edges are beveled and that bevel reduces as they wear. The wear indicator light gives you ample time warning before the pads are gone....meaning after the alarm you still have time...2K+ miles?....before the pad backing hits/ruins the rotor. Viewing the outer pads trailing edge only doesn't account for all pad wear but it's a good indication.

 

i apreciate the information you provided me , that was clear and helpful
i hope you happy life and safe driving envirnment

cheer up
