Preventative Maintenance

Conduct a visual inspection of the disc brake system every 3 months for signs of damage, wear, or abnormalities.

Check brake fluid levels and top up if necessary every 6 months.

Verify brake pads and discs are within acceptable thickness limits every 12 months.

Inspect calipers, brake lines, and hoses for leaks, cracks, or damage every 6 months.

Check brake pedal and handbrake adjustment and smooth operation every 3 months.

Test parking brake function and adjust if required every 6 months.

Clean brake components from dust, debris, and other contaminants every 3 months.

Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement

Remove wheel and visually inspect brake pads for wear, cracks, or unevenness every 6 months.

Measure brake pad thickness using a caliper and compare against manufacturer's specifications every 12 months.

Replace brake pads if they are worn beyond the recommended thickness every 12-18 months.

Ensure brake pads are installed correctly and secured tightly.

Brake Disc Inspection and Replacement

Visually inspect brake discs for signs of scoring, grooving, cracking, or warping every 12 months.

Measure brake disc thickness using a micrometer and compare against manufacturer's specifications every 24 months.

Replace brake discs if they are below the minimum thickness limit or exhibit any significant damage every 24-36 months.

Ensure new brake discs are installed correctly, aligned properly, and torqued to the specified values.

Brake System Bleeding

Follow the correct bleeding procedure to remove air bubbles and maintain proper brake fluid pressure every 24 months.

Use a brake bleeding kit or a vacuum pump to extract air from the brake lines.

Start bleeding from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work towards the closest.

Functional Brake Test

Perform a brake test in a safe and controlled environment after any maintenance or repair.

Test both the regular braking system and the emergency/parking brake.

Conduct a functional brake test every 6 months to ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop smoothly and without any unusual noises or vibrations.
