Rear Brake Pad Replacement Service
Brake Pad Replacement in Honolulu
We offer a rear brake pad replacement service at Cutter Mazda Honolulu of the highest quality. The service is completed in our state-of-the-art service department by an ASE factory-trained technician with genuine Mazda OEM parts . Rear brake pad replacement is ideal for vehicles whose rear brake pads are worn, yet the front pads have sufficient thickness. We will remove the old brake pads, inspect the braking system thoroughly, and install the new pads as quickly and conveniently.
Braking and Rear Brake Pads
The automotive braking system presses brake pads against rotor discs to generate the resistance necessary to stop a vehicle weighing several thousand pounds. Brake pads are made out of a metallic composite that turns into dust under extreme friction and heat. This situation demands that brake pads are replaced to keep the braking system working at its best.
When do Rear Brake Pads Need to be Replaced?
Brake pads need to be replaced when they have little thickness remaining. The standard recommendation is to replace them at .1 inch or 3mm of thickness. Newer models equipped with brake pad monitoring will signal a dashboard warning light when replacement is needed. Older models are equipped with a warning indicator that emits a loud screech when brake pads need to be replaced.
Replacing brake pads is recommended when only 3 millimeters or .1 inch of thickness remains. This is a tiny sliver of brake pad that will not last for much longer. At this point, this sliver is the only thing between the steel brake pad plate striking the rotor. Choosing to put off brake pad replacement is choosing to increase the steel plates’ risk of damaging the rotors. With this damage will come faulty braking and increased risk of an accident. Getting the rear brake pads replaced now will restore peak braking and safety when you need it most.
