Measuring a Brake Pad: Two of the most common reasons to measure disc pad are: Pad Identification and Pad Wear Checking

摘要

Pad Identification is a crucial step in any brake job, particularly now when some vehicles can be fitted with several different brake options and vehicle owners have greater access to aftermarket brake upgrade kits. The brake fitter needs to confirm that the new pads are the same part as the old pads. Sometimes a visual inspection, or back-to-back comparison of the pads is enough to identify a difference, other times when the pad shape is the same a couple of simple measurements will verify the part.
