Replacement of pads. - Toyota Corolla, 1.6L, 2007
I replaced the front pads, did it myself for the first time, it turned out that everything is simple! Taking pictures was not good. ... ... I took a symbolic picture and get to work!)
Compared to the worn out old ones, the new ones are so thick! I had to unclench the support with the keys so that they could fit back onto the disk)
It does not slow down much better, but better! but some screeching disappeared, barely noticeable, but I heard it when I drove without music.
What guidelines are you talking about? )
And the disk is in perfect order! ) I did it not so long ago! )
On the other hand, this is true on special tayota red grease for these purposes.
In fact, nothing will happen to them if they are not lubricated. ... ... After consulting with the mechanic, who had been rattling off in this business for 15 years, he says that he did everything correctly, the guides did not have to be coated with grease, because will work as expected. ... ... Wrong mileage. ... ...
It is possible, of course, that it would not be superfluous. ... ... And nevertheless, the car's braking has become more efficient! )
The guides are on which the caliper walks, if the caliper does not walk well along the guides, then the pads either do not move away and grind off faster and not evenly. This is just my opinion and once again there is a special Toyota grease for this that can withstand high temperatures.
Changed at 67,000 to mine. Somewhere like that) The price seems to be 2.5 from the auris fit) I don't remember exactly the price, well, that's a plus or minus. ... ... )
I have a mileage of 55 thousand and it seems that the front pads creaked (a strange rattle when braking), yesterday I ordered a set of original pads in the "existential" at the price of 3.9 thousand rubles. per set (front and rear), only the front ones cost 3.8 thousand rubles. + replacement of the front 1.2 thousand rubles. - I plan to replace it myself. I also read about the lubrication of the guides in the internet and on the forums, can someone tell me which lubricant to take?
