Die Bremsbeläge am Fahrzeug gehören zu den Verschleißteilen und stellen somit ein gewisses Sicherheitsrisiko dar. Daher ist es sehr wichtig, diese regelmäßig zu überprüfen und bei Bedarf zu wechseln.
The brake pads on the vehicle are wear parts and therefore represent a certain safety risk. It is therefore very important to check them regularly and change them if necessary.
Broke down and cleaned my MAFAC RAID inventory. A few bits were dead, but I was surprised that almost all of these will be "better than new" after polishing and rebuild. I typically replace a few parts with new ones, especially the 4 dot salmon brakepads by Koolstop.
I go through several sets of RAIDs a year doing 650b conversions with braze-on centerpull posts.

this is the first time i've photographed my legs in a while, after looking through the start of my 365 i feel like it's kinda a cop out, where i did shots for the sake of it and not learning or progressing in any way.
my excuse is uni/car needing new brakepads/earlier shift at work/early night/vampire tv type of thing so i just needed a simple shot.
despite it being quite simple and a boring shot there's something i like about it, i can't quite touch it.

MOT went fine but I was told I had to change my pads asap, I figured ... No way, there's nothing wrong with my breaks.
Service 6 mths later... Gotta change your pads Asap!!! I was worried now. Twice I'd been told now. This time they were telling me to keep my mileage to a minimum cos they needed changing desperately.
I ain't no expert but
1- I've never had anything that resembles a problem with my brakes. I clean them... occasionally. I use them... regularly.
2- Looking at these pads above... my old pads look tickety boo, to me.
For sure there were two more pads for the front and another two on the rear but these above were the worst of the lot.
WHY THE EMERGENCY!!!
We tried to change Carolyn's brake pads. Unlike with Clint's Chrysler, it didn't go well.
We realized we didn't have the correct tools to do take the old pads off, because her car basically needed large hex/allen wrenches. The Chrysler pads just used a normal socket wrench.
In the confusion, Clint took the wrong line off, so brake fluid leaked out. We took these pictures so we can compare how to put the brakes back on.
When we finally got it back together, the brakes didn't work. We tried to bleed the brakes, but we didn't have the correct size wrench for the bleeding valve, despite having metric and imperial. It seemed that the valve was perhaps stripped. Carolyn took the car to PepBoys the next day to replace her brake pads.
This is a rare case of DIY not saving money. We lost $60 instead of saving $200+. And we lost an afternoon.
I'm still going to do my own Chrysler brake pads, though. This was just a matter of not understanding how to do it.
