23.3 Clean and Inspect Brakes
Brake maintenance is important, not only for the obvious safety
reasons, but also to help preserve the wear components.
The brake system consists of six main components that should be
inspected and/ or cleaned. They are the brake pads, rotors,
calipers, drums, brake lines, and master cylinder.
The wheels and tires should be removed to perform this
procedure properly. Refer to section 21 Lifting and Supporting for
instruction.
1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel.
3. Clean and inspect the pads for wear, damage and looseness.
4. Clean and inspect the brake discs and drums for signs of
cracks, excessive wear or corrosion, warping or other
damage.
5. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
6. Inspect parking brake cable for free movement. Clean and
lubricate as necessary.
Do not apply rust inhibiting penetrating oil or other petroleum
based products to brake discs and drums. This could render your
braking system inoperable resulting in severe injury or death.
Generally, there should be at least a 1/4" (6.4 mm) of brake pad. If
you see less than this, you may want to replace the pads.
