Grease for calipers

The car in the twenty-first century has long ceased to be just a vehicle. Now the presence of a luxury vehicle speaks of the high status of its owner.

Today's machines are supplied with all advanced technologies. The competition in the world of automotive industry has become very stubborn. With the increase in demand for machines all over the world, designers and engineers of every automobile brand strive to make the "iron horse" unique.

The demand for supported cars is also increasing, and if the client receives a warranty period or service with the purchase of a new car, then, buying a supported car, basically all the problems are done for own money. It is very important to frequently test the vehicle in the service salons, basically it is necessary to check the running and braking systems.

The entire braking system itself is simple, problems are usually in the hoses. Light cracks with time become wide and can lead to sad consequences, which can concern the safety of the motorist himself. Brake hoses and their replacement are not so expensive.

The next function relating to the brake system is the replacement of brake pads. Since it is not often necessary to change the brake pads, it is recommended that a high-quality lubricant be used for each replacement. It is unlikely for the driver will be news, how important is the lubrication for the calipers.

Many modern machines are equipped with sensors that show on the on -board computer the state of the elements of the brake system. It is recommended to replace them using factory ones, but with a shortage of funds, you can change them to more budget-priced but high-quality pad models.

Details of German and Japanese production are also recommended. Usually at normal driving they serve 20-30 thousand kilometers, if the car is more used on the roads, a good quality shoe will serve you and up to 45-50 thousand kilometers of run.

Professionals unanimously assert that the lubrication for the supports should be carried out in suspended mode, fixing them to the spring of the rack or the lever (depends on the variety of the brand of the machine itself)

It is necessary and very important to change the pads in time, because with further driving they will damage the brake discs.

The very process of their replacement is very simple, so many perform it on their own in their garage. What is he like? Let's try to explain all the simple process of lubrication.

The first thing after removing the wheel and old shoes is to clean the brake plate, springs and contacts from contamination. Important is the lubrication of the guide calipers, along which the butt ends come from the pads. The question arises: what should be the lubricant, and what properties should it have for more efficient work? Since in friction all the details reach a huge temperature, one must take a lubricant that does not lose its qualities even at a high degree.

It turns out that the lubricant for the support must be high-temperature. Since the caliper can heat up very strongly, it is highly recommended to choose a high-temperature, high-quality lubricant, since the repair and maintenance of the entire braking system is a priority for safe driving.

If there are traces of rust on the fingers of the guide rails, you must eliminate them. The grease for the slides should only be used on the cleaned surface.

To easily put the ends of the pads in their places, it is recommended to slightly polish them. At the slightest doubt in your abilities, you need to turn to specialists and make sure to replace the brake pads and lubrication of the support in the maintenance centers. In any case, it is very important to use a quality and "correct" grease for the support.

I would like to note that lubrication for the support and replacement of the pads is a simple process. If the replacement of the pads is not done in time, the brake pads rub against the coated parts, resulting in a shoulder on the brake discs. In this case, it is necessary to change the brake pad or to carve it if the collar is small.
