Just changed my brake fluid

[Corsasg]

The US aveo is 1.6L. Not sure if they are using the same braking system. Can you help me confirm if our sing aveo can use the US parts?

 

You have not changed your pads yet? Thought your mileage already quite high.

[Corsasg]

I have used Brembo normal disc before. yah, quite good but in this instance I am trying to change the brake pads 1st, skim the disc, use until disc is botak before changing it.

 

Where did you get your Brembo?

[Godfinger]

For that, I can help you

to answer.

 

He gets from UK.

Apparently not a single

people is selling Max rotors

for our ride in SGP.

Sigh.....Got my Brembos from overseas leh, not sure where to get in Singapore.

Same brakes. No difference. I have not changed my pads yet. Manual transmission. Seldom use my brakes. Well.......except those odd corners which I did left foot braking.

[Corsasg]

Many thanks for the info and help, guys!

 

Appreciate very much even though I still have not found my solution.

Since the Civics are also 4X100 PCD, if their rotors are 256mm then I believe performance rotors from Civics might be able to fit.

Hi all

 

I'm new here and i need some guidelines.

 

How do you know whether brake pad has finished?

Do you all have braking sound as and when you press brake?

 

Hope i'm not a nuisance to u guys Cheers

 

Glad to be a Chevy Owner!!

[Genie47]

Yes, the brakes will give a squealing soound.

[Car_man]

Will it spoilt the disc rotor if we wait until we hear the squealing sound

[Genie47]

Not really but your braking performance will be bad and crashing the car will spoil more things than you imagined.

but seems like the disc rotor we have are not very good . i need to skim mine @ 20k servicing, cookiemonster have to replaced his

[Car_man]

So how much is it to change the brake pad?

[Genie47]

Very hard braking will screw the rotor. I don't have this problem. Very gentle on braking so far even with an occasional LFB.

[Genie47]

Depends. Pads don't cost much. Labor costs a lot.

[Lukie102]

damn.....i like to follow cars and brake at last minute

[Car_man]

ok thanks will check it out

Qute easy to change brake pads.

 

1. take the wheels out,

2. remove 2 bolts,

3. open the brake oil cap,

4. unclip the brake pad,

5. widen the cliper using a long screwdriver(if you do not have a inverted clamp),

6. clip the new pad on.

7. Put back everything

 

save you about S$100.
