Brake Pad Wear


WoREoD

Recommended Posts

Morning all.

 

My front brakes have been making intermittent scraping noises the last few ways.

 

Two questions then:

 

1) What sort of pad life should I get as a moderate to light driver (except track days!)? :)

 

2) Is there an easy way to check pad wear without taking wheels off? )The discs look ok - no sign of scoring).

 

TIA,

hi there mate

 

I changed my wheels yesterday and had a look at the pads, fronts and rears while cleaning the brakes... seems like i've still got lots to go after 22.5K miles!

 

the metal "auditory" bit was still well clear off the disks, so I'm expecting quite a few miles still....

 

apart from that, not too sure how'd check it with the wheel in place, try have a better look, you might see the pads anyway
