Series Summary

The steel plates that are 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 this free video clip series, our expert will demonstrate brake pad installation, including instructions on filling brake fluid, locating caliper bolts, removing the tires for disc brake changes, as well as rotor, caliper and brake pad cleaning techniques.
