Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Always prioritize safety when working on vehicle braking systems. Improper installation or maintenance can lead to serious injury or vehicle damage. If you are not confident in your ability to perform this installation, seek assistance from a qualified automotive technician.
- Brug passende personlige værnemidler (PPE), herunder sikkerhedsbriller og handsker.
- Sørg for, at køretøjet er sikkert understøttet på donkrafte, før du påbegynder arbejdet.
- Se din bils servicehåndbog for specifikke momentspecifikationer og procedurer.
- Hold bremsevæske væk fra malede overflader, da det kan beskadige lakken.
- Bortskaf gamle bremsekomponenter og -væsker ansvarligt i henhold til lokale regler.
Installationsvejledning
This section provides a general guide for installing the Bosch QuietCast Premium Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set. Specific steps may vary depending on your vehicle make and model. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.
Nødvendigt værktøj og materialer:
- Jack og jack stands
- Lug wrench
- Topnøglesæt og skralde
- C-clamp or brake caliper piston compression tool
- Stålbørste
- Bremserenser
- Momentnøgle
- New Bosch QuietCast Brake Pads (BP149)
- Synthetic lubricant (included with pads)
- Hardware kit (where applicable, included with pads)
Trin-for-trin installation:
- Klargør køretøjet: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and loosen the lug nuts on the wheels where brake pads will be replaced. Jack up the vehicle and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheels.
- Fjern gamle bremseklodser: Locate the brake caliper. Depending on your vehicle, you may need to remove caliper guide pins or bolts to swing the caliper open or remove it entirely. Carefully remove the old brake pads. Note their orientation.
- Efterse komponenter: Inspect the brake rotors for excessive wear, scoring, or warping. If necessary, replace the rotors with new Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Rotors for optimal performance. Check caliper slides and boots for damage.
- Rengør og smør: Clean the caliper bracket and hardware mounting points with a wire brush and brake cleaner. Apply the provided synthetic lubricant to the caliper slide pins and any metal-to-metal contact points on the new hardware (if included).
- Komprimér bremsekaliperstempel: Brug en C-clamp or a brake caliper piston compression tool to slowly push the caliper piston(s) back into the caliper bore. This creates space for the thicker new brake pads.
- Montering af nye bremseklodser: Install the new Bosch QuietCast brake pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring they are correctly seated. If a new hardware kit is included, install the new clips and shims.
- Saml kaliberen igen: Reinstall the brake caliper over the new pads and rotor. Secure the caliper guide pins or bolts and tighten them to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Sidste trin: Reinstall the wheels and tighten the lug nuts hand-tight. Lower the vehicle and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications. Repeat the process for the other wheels.

Brake Pad Break-In Procedure (Bedding-In):
After installing new brake pads, it is crucial to follow a proper break-in procedure to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This process, known as "bedding-in," transfers a thin layer of friction material from the pads to the rotor surface, creating a more consistent braking surface.
- Find et sikkert, åbent område med minimal trafik.
- Accelerer til cirka 56 km/t, og brug et moderat bremsetryk for at sænke farten til cirka 8 km/t. Stands ikke helt.
- Repeat this moderate braking procedure 4-5 times, allowing a short period between each stop for the brakes to cool slightly.
- Next, accelerate to approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) and apply firm braking pressure (but not hard enough to activate ABS) to slow down to about 5 mph (8 km/h). Do not come to a complete stop.
- Repeat this firm braking procedure 2-3 times, allowing a short period between each stop for the brakes to cool slightly.
- After the bedding-in process, drive normally for at least 200 miles (320 km), avoiding sudden or aggressive braking.
During the break-in period, you may notice a slight burning smell or reduced braking effectiveness. This is normal. Avoid heavy braking or prolonged stops immediately after installation.
Opretholdelse
Regular inspection and maintenance of your braking system are essential for safety and performance.
- Rutinemæssig inspektion: Inspect brake pads, rotors, and calipers at least once a year or every 12,000 miles (20,000 km), whichever comes first. Look for signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
- Bremseklodsslid: Replace brake pads when the friction material wears down to the minimum thickness specified by your vehicle manufacturer, typically around 2-3mm. Bosch QuietCast pads are designed for long life, but wear rates can vary based on driving conditions.
- Bremsevæske: Check brake fluid level and condition regularly. Consult your vehicle manual for recommended brake fluid replacement intervals.
- Rotorens tilstand: Ensure rotors are free from deep grooves, excessive rust, or warping. Replace rotors if they are below minimum thickness or show significant damage.
Fejlfinding
| Symptom | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Hvinende/skurrende støj | New pads not properly bedded-in, worn pads (wear indicator), foreign object, caliper issues. | Perform break-in procedure. Inspect pads for wear and replace if necessary. Check for debris. Inspect calipers for proper function. |
| Vibration/pulsering under bremsning | Warped rotors, uneven pad wear, loose wheel bearings. | Inspect and replace rotors if warped. Check for proper pad installation. Inspect wheel bearings. |
| Blød bremsepedal | Air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, faulty master cylinder. | Bleed the brake system. Check and top up brake fluid. Inspect master cylinder. |
| Vehicle Pulls to One Side | Uneven brake pad wear, seized caliper, contaminated brake fluid. | Inspect pads and calipers. Flush and replace brake fluid. |
If you experience any persistent braking issues, it is recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic immediately.
