What Are The Basic Instructions For Fitting of PAGID BRAKE PADS?
The new brake pads must move freely in their guides. If necessary remove paint from the contact faces. Delayed release and taper wear can occur if pads do not have enough clearance. The outer radius of the friction material must align with the brake disc’s outer radius. Especially with custom made uprights (knuckles) or custom made caliper mounting brackets very often pads do not align properly with the brake disc. It is advisable to place a note at the steering wheel to let the driver know new pads had been installed. Never lay hot pads up side down i.e. with the friction material onto the ground unless you are throwing them away anyway. Asphalt, rubber, oil etc. can melt into the friction material. If pads do not get bedded properly and/or used to hard right out of the box will likely lead to pad glazing. Pad glazing is a condition where the resins in the pad crystallize on both, the pad friction surface and the brake disc surface, resulting in poor stopping performance, brake judder
