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：
link hidden, please login to view 1. Tools and Materials Needed
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. -

A recent study from Hanover Research and Babcox Media suggests that over 20% of repairs required an OE diagnostic tool to properly complete the repair job. However, many OE tools require a large upfront investment, costly upkeep, and specialized knowledge, creating barriers for many shop owners. Repairify and NAPA said asTech® Mechanical solves this issue by enabling shops to remotely connect to an OE tool, operated by a certified technician, to perform programming, calibrations, and vehicle health checks on a pay-per-use basis. “As a leader in the aftermarket repair industry, we’re dedicated to improving technician and shop efficiency,” said John Molidor, product category director – tools and equipment; paint, body, and equipment at NAPA. “Our partnership with

Brad Sweet and the
link hidden, please login to view No. 49 team were poised to take on a busy week of High Limit Racing action, but Tuesday night’s event at Davenport Speedway in Iowa was rained out. That left two nights at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Mo., on the schedule, and an opportunity for Sweet and the NAPA team to showcase their skills to fans and competitors alike. At the Rayce Rudeen Foundation event opener Friday night at I-70, Sweet posted the sixth-quickest time overall in qualifying with a lap of 13.768 seconds on the half-mile dirt oval. The Big Cat then dominated his heat race, taking the checkered flag and securing his spot in the FK Rod Ends Dash. With the help of his daughter Savannah, Sweet drew the third starting spot for the seven-lap dash to set the field for the evening’s feature. The NAPA driver held his ground to finish third, then lined up third for the feature. Sweet was able to pick up a spot in Friday’s main event. He crossed the line in the runner-up position.
On Saturday night, Sweet was already locked into heat race competition thanks to his podium finish on Friday. The NAPA No. 49 was second across the line after starting fourth in the heat race. Sweet kept the energy level high in Saturday’s dash and finished third. The NAPA team went on to battle hard against tough competition in the main event. After a late-race caution, Sweet spun the tires on the restart and fell back to fifth. He maintained that position when the checkered flag flew.
Despite the rain-out at Davenport, Sweet and the NAPA Auto Parts No. 49 team extended their points lead with the runner-up and top-five finishes. Sweet now leads the standings with a solid, 65-point advantage over second place. Eagle Raceway, a favorite from the 2023 season, is next on the schedule with a $55,000-to-win event.
Start / Finish:
Friday, June 7: 3 / 2
Saturday, June 8: 3 / 5
Points Standing / Total: 1st / 1,540 pts. (+65)
Next Race: Tuesday, June 11, Eagle Raceway, Eagle, Nebraska
