AUTODOC recommends
  • Replace brake pads in complete sets for each axle. This ensures effective braking.
  • Do not clean brake components with gasoline, diesel fuel, or petroleum-based solvents.
  • Follow safety procedures! When brake pads are in use, brake dust is generated. Therefore, do not use compressed air and avoid inhaling dust when cleaning brake pads.
  • Replace all four pads, even if only one of them is contaminated with oil or grease. Remember, there is no way to fully clean a pad.

    AutoDoc recommends:
    Secure the caliper to the suspension or body with a wire without disconnecting it from the brake hose to avoid depressurizing the brake system. Do not press the brake pedal after removing the brake pads. This will cause the piston to fall out of the brake cylinder, leading to brake fluid leakage and system depressurization.
