Basic requirement for every repair
Clean all components and then lubricate the necessary points in the area of the pad / liner guide shafts, as well as the contact points of the brake shoes with a non-conductive, high temperature-resistant, solids-free (metal-free) paste suitable for ABS vehicles (Mintex Cera Tec).
Do not use copper paste!
All worn and damaged components are to be replaced in strict accordance to vehicle, system and brake manufacturers’ guidelines.
Following of the instructions helps to avoid technical problems and complaints.
It is important to replace any defective parts.
Important!
Please pay attention to the instruction leaflet in the Mintex disc brake pad packages. This contains information on special installation regulations, such as
- directional disc brake pads
- coloured markings on the backing plate and their meaning
- warnings regarding work on the electrohydraulic brake system
- disc brake pads with removable foil on the backing plate for glued attachment, etc.
Attention! In the case of vehicles with an electrohydraulic brake (e.g., SBC-Sensotronic Brake Control). Never change the pad / lining and brake fluid at the same time! Work on the electronic brake system is only to be performed by trained personnel.
Please note! The instructions of the vehicle and brake system manufacturers regarding repair and maintenance must always be observed.
