Changing your brake pads is a manageable task if you have the right tools and follow the steps carefully to help you replace your brake pads: Tips
Always replace brake pads in pairs (both front or both rear) to ensure even braking. Dispose of the old brake pads and any other materials properly, following local regulations. Consult your vehicle’s manual for specific instructions and torque specifications. Welcome to learn more about brake pad types from here：

Jack and Jack stands Lug wrench C-clamp or brake caliper tool Wrench or ratchet and socket set Brake pads Brake fluid Bungee cord or string Gloves and safety glasses Wheel chocks 2. Prepare the Vehicle
Park your vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake. Place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels to prevent the car from rolling. 3. Raise the Vehicle
Use a jack to lift the car off the ground, and then place it securely on jack stands. 4. Remove the Wheel
Finish removing the lug nuts and take the wheel off to expose the brake assembly. 5. Remove the Brake Caliper
Locate the bolts on the back of the brake caliper and remove them using a wrench or ratchet. Carefully lift the caliper off the brake rotor. Use a bungee cord or string to hang the caliper from the suspension to avoid putting stress on the brake hose. 6. Remove the Old Brake Pads
Slide the old brake pads out of the caliper bracket. Take note of how they are positioned for proper installation of the new pads. 7. Inspect the Brake Rotor
Check the brake rotor for any signs of damage or excessive wear. If the rotor is in poor condition, it may need to be replaced or resurfaced. 8. Compress the Brake Caliper Piston
Use a C-clamp or brake caliper tool to slowly compress the caliper piston back into the caliper. This will make room for the new brake pads. Open the brake fluid reservoir cap to make this process easier. 9. Install the New Brake Pads
Place the new brake pads into the caliper bracket in the same position as the old ones. 10 Reattach the Brake Caliper
Carefully position the brake caliper over the new brake pads and rotor. Reinsert and tighten the caliper bolts securely. 11. Reinstall the Wheel
Put the wheel back on the hub and hand-tighten the lug nuts. 12. Lower the Vehicle
Carefully remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle back to the ground using the jack. 13. Tighten the Lug Nuts
Use the lug wrench to fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure. 14. Check the Brake Fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Replace the reservoir cap. 15. Test the Brakes
Before driving, pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure the brakes are properly engaged and check for any leaks or issues. -

In the second quarter,
link hidden, please login to view’s electric vehicle sales in the United States again surpassed General Motors, ranking second in the U.S. electric vehicle market sales, and is on track to close the gap with Tesla.

In the second quarter of this year, Ford sold 23,957 electric vehicles in the United States, a 61% increase from the same period last year, when total electric vehicle sales were 14,843. Meanwhile, Ford’s sales of hybrid vehicles rose 55 percent year over year. However, sales of internal combustion engine cars were down 5 per cent year on year.
Ford saw double-digit sales growth for several of its electric vehicles. Sales of the Ford F-150 Lightning rose 76.9% to 7,902 units. While new competitors such as the Tesla Cybertruck and the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST have all hit the U.S. market, the Ford F-150 Lightning remained the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. in the first half of the year, with 15,654 units sold.
Second-quarter sales of the Ford Mustang Mach-E were up 46.5% year-over-year to 12,645 units. In the first half of this year, 22,234 units of the Mustang Mach-E were delivered, the best performance ever. Sales of Ford’s E-Transit electric van continued to climb in the second quarter, rising 95.5 percent to 3,410 units from a year earlier.
In the first half of 2024, Ford sold a total of 44,189 electric vehicles in the U.S. market, up 72% from 25,709 in the same period last year.
Ford CEO Jim Farley said the automaker is shifting to smaller, more affordable electric vehicles to close the gap with Tesla and fend off competitors like BYD worldwide. Referring to Americans’ love affair with “larger vehicles,” Farley said smaller electric vehicles are “very important to driving the decarbonisation of American society and the development of electric vehicles.”
Ford’s surge in electric vehicle sales in the US market is enough for it to continue to overtake General Motors. In the United States, GM delivered 21,930 electric vehicles in the second quarter, compared with 38,355 in the first half of 2024.
GM is also ramping up production by introducing new models, with electric models such as the Chevrolet Blazer, Equinox and Silverado coming to the U.S. market. While Tesla did not give specific sales figures by region, its second-quarter electric vehicle sales worldwide exceeded expectations, delivering 443,956 electric vehicles and remaining №1 in the U.S. market.
As competition in the U.S. electric vehicle market intensifies, other competitors, including Hyundai and Kia, also set new EV sales records in the second quarter. Hyundai Motor, for example, set a new sales record with its IONIQ 5 model, which sold 18,728 units in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, sales of Kia’s first three-row electric SUV, the EV9, are also climbing.
