About the role

A brake pads replacement job involves several key steps to ensure your car's braking system functions safely and effectively. Here's a simplified overview of the process: First, the mechanic raises the car using a lift or jack so they can work on the wheels. The wheels are removed to access the brake components. This exposes the brake calipers, which house the brake pads. Next, the mechanic removes the brake calipers, which involves loosening the bolts that hold them in place. The calipers are then carefully lifted off to access the brake pads. The old, worn-out brake pads are removed from the calipers. The mechanic inspects the brake rotors and other related components to ensure they are in good condition. If the rotors are damaged or excessively worn, they may need to be resurfaced or replaced. The new brake pads are installed into the calipers. These pads are specifically chosen to match the vehicle's make and model to ensure optimal performance. The mechanic then reinstalls the brake calipers, making sure they are securely bolted back in place. Any necessary adjustments to the brake caliper positioning are made to ensure proper alignment with the new brake pads. Once the calipers and new pads are installed, the wheels are reattached to the car. Finally, the mechanic tests the braking system to ensure the new brake pads are functioning correctly. This includes checking for proper braking pressure and ensuring there are no unusual noises or vibrations. This job requires skill and precision, which is why it's best done by a professional mechanic.
