2003 Hyundai Accent Front Brake Pad Thickness

max thickness of new pads is 16.5 mm
anything less than 6 mm needs new pads
wont make to the next 10,000 km service


Brake Pad Set disc brake for Kia Picanto

try to change a new brake caliper bracket and brake pad, the wrong thickness of pad also will make brake locked up.

Pull the brake pads and inspect them both for same size thickness.. Inspect the inside of the disc rotor for cracks or rough surface or worn away. If you see anything the way out is 2 new rotors and all new front pads as you cannot replace 1/2 of anything without getting bad results

In this tutorial, we learn how to check the brake pads on a 2008 Dodge Caravan, check the thickness of the brake pads on the car to see if they are thick enough. The rear pad is surrounded by a gold piece called the "shoe" and the rotor. The front pad has to be inspected by laying on your back and looking for the pad to see how thick it is. If the thickness is not enough, you need to replace it as soon as possible. Make sure the brake pads are up to t

That sounds like the "Porportioning valve" is defective.
You may want to go to your local library and check out a Chilton's, or some other repair manual for the "how to" to fix yourself or take it to a tech you can trust.

may have siezed caliper slide pins suggest buy reman loaded caliper assembly

Diagram is unnecessry.
Pull both front wheels
Work one at a time leaving the other for reference
Find the retention spring ... its a paperclip thickness wire spring... dislodge center retention loop and undo from both ends which engage brake pad retention rods.
Pull the rods out
Pull the old pads out... laying everything on the ground
Use scrap wooden wedges to pry between the rotor and the caliper ...inside and out until the calipers are fully withdrawn. Use the new pads to measure if they are far enough back.
Note... the brake fluid will have dropped in the master cylinder over many months of wear... do not fill it. When the calipers are pushed back they will fill the reservoir again... one wheel at a time.
Be sure to identify the correct pad based on what you took out and what is on the other side (if you screwed up the layout)
Make sure to take the old antisqueek backing plate from the old pad and place it on the new pad. They don't use lubricant on these anymore.
Replace the pads... the retention rods... then the retention spring
Do the other side
Then progressively step on the brake peddle until full tension is felt
Check the master cylinder reservoir... probably needs no additional fluid.
New pads will register in existing ridges in each disc in no time at all.
You should check the discs to see if they need to be replaced during this operation...using some calipers

there is many kind of brake system of ur truck here i will send u everything about the brake and i hope its help

* All brake rotors have a discard dimension cast into them. Replace any rotor that does not meet this Specification. After refinishing the rotor, replace any rotor that does not meet the minimum or discard thickness specifications.

Your brake fluid is most likely low due to pad wear add fluid and the light should go out. Also check the thickness of your front disc brake pads.

REMOVAL 1. Remove the lower bolt and lift the caliper assembly up and secure it with a wire or some other retaining method. 2. Remove the pads. CAUTION: Do not depress the brake pedal while disassembling the pads

INSPECTION 1. Check the pads for wear or oil contamination and replace, if necessary. • The pads for the right and left wheels should be replaced at the same time. Never "drop" or intermix brake pad sets. • All four pads must be replaced as a complete set. • When replacing the brake pad, check for deformation. When replacing the guide spring, use a new one or the used one after cleaning away foreign material. 2. Check the pad for damage or deformation. Brake pad thickness: Standard value: 9 mm (0.354 in.) Service limited value: 2 mm (0.0787 in.)
INSTALLATION 1. Install the pad clips. 2. Install the pads onto each pad clip.
3. Insert the piston in the cylinder using the Special Tool (09581-11000). 4. Install the new pads. The shims are attached to each pad as illustrated Be careful so that the disc or pad isn't contaminated by grease. 5. Install the bolt and tighten to the specified value. Tightening torque Guide rod bolt: 22~32 Nm(220~320 kgf·cm, 16~24 lb·ft)
