What details should be paid attention to when installing brake discs?

       As a key component of the automotive braking system, the installation quality of the brake disc directly affects the braking performance and driving safety of the vehicle. Proper installation can not only ensure the normal operation of the brake disc, but also extend its service life. The following are the details to pay attention to when installing brake discs:
       1、 Preparation work
       Tool preparation:
       Ensure that all necessary tools are prepared, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, jacks, torque wrenches, etc.
       Cleaning work:
       Before installation, thoroughly clean the surface of the brake disc and brake pads to remove oil, dust, and rust. This can reduce abnormal noise and vibration during braking.
       Check the components:
       Check the brake discs and brake pads for cracks, deformations, or other damages. If there is a problem, it should be replaced immediately.
       2、 Installation steps
       Dismantling old brake discs:
       Lift the vehicle with a jack to ensure stability.
       Remove the tire, then loosen and remove the fixing screws of the brake disc. Pay attention to storing all screws and washers.
       Install new brake discs:
       Before installing a new brake disc, check if the surface of the brake disc is flat and if the mounting holes are clean.
       Align the brake disc with the mounting hole on the wheel hub and gently push it in to ensure a tight fit between the brake disc and the wheel hub.
       Install the fixing screws, but do not tighten them immediately. First, screw in all the screws, then gradually tighten them in diagonal order to ensure that the brake disc is evenly stressed.
       Install brake pads:
       Before installing the brake pads, check if the thickness of the brake pads meets the requirements. If the brake pads are severely worn, they should be replaced at the same time.
       Install the brake pads onto the brake calipers, ensuring that the contact surface between the brake pads and the brake disc is flat.
       Torque calibration:
       Use a torque wrench to tighten the brake disc fixing screws according to the manufacturer's specified torque value. Usually, the torque value of brake disc screws is between 80-120 N · m.
       Installing tires:
       Reinstall the tire onto the wheel hub and tighten the tire screws. Similarly, use a torque wrench to tighten the tire screws according to the specified torque value.

       3、 Inspection after installation
       Check the gap between the brake disc and brake pad:
       Ensure there is sufficient clearance between the brake disc and brake pads, typically 1-2 millimeters. If the gap is too small, it may cause abnormal noise when braking.
       Check the installation position of the brake disc:
       Ensure that the brake disc is installed correctly and not loose or offset. If the brake disc is not installed correctly, it may cause shaking during braking.
       Check other components of the brake system:
       Check for damage or leaks in brake calipers, brake oil pipes, and other components. If there are any problems, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
       4、 Precautions
       Avoid overtightening screws:
       Overtightening screws may cause deformation of the brake disc, affecting braking performance. Be sure to tighten the screws according to the manufacturer's specified torque values.
       Use appropriate lubricants:
       Applying an appropriate amount of brake lubricant on the contact surface between the brake disc and brake pad can reduce friction and noise.
       Avoid using inferior brake discs and pads:
       Poor quality brake discs and pads may lead to decreased braking performance and even pose safety hazards. It is recommended to choose products from the original factory or well-known brands.
       Regularly check the brake system:
       After installation, it is recommended to regularly check the wear of the brake system and replace severely worn components in a timely manner.
       In short, the installation of brake discs requires careful operation to ensure that each step meets the requirements. By proper installation and regular maintenance, the normal operation of the brake system can be ensured, improving driving safety.
