Brake Maintenance

[dr. d]

my brake system is funny.....

just serviced my front brakes kagabi at eto mga ginawa ko:

1. brake pad replacement (bosch)
2. replacement of rubber boots ng slide pin at lock bolt....as well as greasing it with silicone grease.... (hindi ko pinalitan ang square seals at rubber boots ng piston)
3. disc refacing. 21 mm thickness after. (replacement limit is 20.6 mm)
4. replacement of the brake fluid pati na rin sa clutch.

ngayon, mas malambot yung first pump kesa sa second pump during brake application....after 1 liter of brake fluid e ganun pa rin.

i suppose malambot nga siguro ang bosch...humihinto naman.

still under going bedding-in procedures as per the instruction manual ng bosch.

i experienced that before, immediately after i had my friction pads replaced.
after a couple of days, ok na.
apparently, there was a bedding-in period.
if it does not improve after a few days, then, as barako says, you may have air in your tubes. tapak... bitaw... tapak... bitaw...

so far so good. diko alam kung may 1k km na magmula nung pinalitan ko. diko hawak yung maintenance booklet ko e. nasa bahay.

sa bosch pads.................ayun, tahimik naman..meron lang akong "thud" sound kapag full stop. icheck ko pa kung may maluwag na mounting bolt o yung pad mismo. mejo tumigas na rin sa pakiramdam (pedal) pero ibbleed ko pa or iflush na lang para madrain ng husto yung dumi sa fluid.

tska may kasamang brake shims yung bosch...kung tama ang alaala ko e walang kasamang shims yung bendix na ipinalit ko sa sasakyan ng pinsan ko last time.

sa brake dust, kung mangitim man yung mags ko e ok lang. ibig sabihin yung pad ang napupudpod hindi yung disc. tsaka di naman ako maselan sa maduming mags. ganyan talaga, nagagamit e. regular ko naman winawashingan ang sasakyan.
