Good evening!
This time the post will be as short as possible since there isn't much to write about.
During a tire change, I noticed that my brake pads are running low on the front wheels. Decided not to wait for the wear sensor to turn on and replaced them now.
Initially wanted to buy my favorite ADVICS pads, but unfortunately couldn't find them for my model neither in stores nor on their official website. Had to go with something else. I chose NISSHINBO. I've already bought brake discs from this manufacturer for my previous LS, so decided to get the pads too. The part number is:NP1163.Also bought anti-squeak plate lubricant:LIQUI MOLY 7585
.
Unlike ADVICS pads, these come in a vacuum-sealed pack instead of just being thrown in a box:
Starting the replacement. It's quite quick and straightforward. Removing front wheels:
Removing all springs and pin locks. Pull out the pins and take out the brake pads. I don't know why but on the left side the pads were really worn down.
Good thing I did it in time. Removing anti-squeak plates, cleaning everything up, installing them with anti-squeak plate lubricant on new pads.
Installing the pads back into place. Sorry for the photo quality…
Noticed that a spring is missing, will try to find one and install it soon.
Proceeding to the other side which is similar except there's an additional wear sensor installed.
Similar process: clean everything, apply anti-squeak lubricant, reassemble the pads.
Mounting the sensor, installing pads, fixing pins, all springs. Then put back the wheels and done.
