I need to replace the brake pads on my Kia Sorento, but I'm not sure where to start. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide or some tips on how to do it properly?
ReplyReplacing brake pads is not a difficult task, but it does require some basic knowledge and skills. First, gather all the necessary tools and materials, including a jack, jack stands, new brake pads, and a C-clamp. Then, follow these steps: 1) Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel where you will be replacing the brake pads. 2) Lift the car with a jack and secure it on jack stands. 3) Remove the wheel. 4) Locate the brake caliper and remove the bolts holding it in place. 5) Use the C-clamp to compress the caliper piston. 6) Remove the old brake pads and replace them with the new ones. 7) Put everything back in place and repeat the process for the remaining wheels. Make sure to double check everything before taking your car for a test drive.
