How to replace brake pads on Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari?

To replace the brake pads on a vehicle, start by removing the covers from the brake fluid reservoir. Then, loosen the wheel lug nuts and raise the front or rear of the vehicle, supporting it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheels and work on one brake assembly at a time, using the assembled brake for reference if needed. Inspect the rotor carefully and remove it if machining is necessary, along with the pads from the calipers. Clean the brake with brake system cleaner and push the piston(s) back into its/their bore(s) using a C-clamp or flat bar. Be cautious of the fluid in the master cylinder rising and siphon off some if necessary. For installation, ensure to stay in order when replacing the disc brake pads on 2003 and later models. Tighten the caliper mounting bolts and wheel lug nuts to the proper torque specifications. Finally, depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc and check the brake fluid level, adding more if needed.

Chevrolet Astro Brake Pad

Chevrolet Astro Brake Pad are the parts of the car's operational brake system, which apply friction to the rotating brake rotors in order to decelerate the movement and, thereby, transform kinetic energy into heat. These pads are generally comprised of a metallic component along with a synthetic material to be resistant to heat with temperatures of up two 400 degrees Fahrenheit using it. A brake pad is made up of steel for the backing and comprising the friction material that goes to the rotor to produce sufficient friction for the purpose of braking. The brake pads can be sorted in various categories and these include non metallic brake pads, semi metallic brake pads, metallic fully brake pads and ceramic brake pads, all these have different characteristics such as friction, wear rates and noise. Brake pads require timely service to enhance the vehicle's braking system efficiency and safety besides featuring indicators to signify that it is due for service. The choice of brake pads becomes important to avoid problems such as brake fade or over-stressing of rotors and environmental rules cover the type of material to be used on these parts.

Each OEM Chevrolet Astro Brake Pad we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
