I recently bought a Kia ProCeed and I noticed that the rear brake pads are starting to wear down. I want to change them myself but I have never done it before. Can anyone provide me with a step by step guide on how to change the rear brake pads on a Kia ProCeed?
ReplyHi Samantha, changing the rear brake pads on a Kia ProCeed is a relatively straightforward process. First, you will need to jack up the car and secure it on jack stands. Then, remove the wheels and locate the brake caliper. You will need to remove the brake caliper bolts and then the caliper itself. Next, you will see the brake pads inside the caliper bracket. Remove them and replace them with the new pads. Don't forget to also replace the brake wear sensor if necessary. Put everything back together and make sure to properly torque the caliper bolts. Lastly, make a few test stops to ensure everything is working smoothly. I hope this helps.
Hey Samantha, changing brake pads on a car might seem daunting at first but with proper guidance, it can be done easily. Do not forget to use brake cleaner to clean the caliper and brake pads. Also, make sure to use a brake spreader tool to compress the caliper piston before installing the new pads. This will ensure that the caliper is properly aligned. And don't hesitate to ask for help if needed. Good luck!
Hi Samantha, it's important to follow the proper procedure when changing brake pads on a Kia ProCeed. Start by cleaning all the brake components and inspecting for any damage. Make sure to replace any worn out parts. Pay attention to the brake pad clips and make sure to properly align them. Also, use a torque wrench to tighten the caliper bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque. If you're not confident in your abilities, it's always best to take your car to a professional mechanic. Stay safe!
