Brake shoes, commonly known as brake pads, are consumables, wear gradually in use, when wear to the extreme position, must be replaced, otherwise it will reduce the effect of braking, and even accidents. The automatic transmission repair manufacturer introduces that brake shoes are vital to safety and must be treated with caution.

大多數轎車采用前盤后鼓式制動器結構，一般情況下前制動蹄片磨損的相對較快，后制動蹄片使用的時間相對較長，在日常的檢查維護中應重點注意以下幾個方面：

Most cars adopt the front and rear drum brake structure. Generally speaking, the front brake shoe wears relatively fast and the rear brake shoe is used relatively long. The following aspects should be paid attention to in daily inspection and maintenance:

1.正常行駛條件下每行駛5000公里對制動蹄片檢查一次，不僅要檢查剩余的厚度，還要檢查蹄片磨損的狀態，兩邊磨損的程度是否一樣，回位是否自如等，發現不正常情況必須立即處理。

1. Check the brake shoe every 5,000 kilometers under normal driving conditions, not only to check the remaining thickness, but also to check the wear state of the shoe, both sides of the wear degree is the same, return is comfortable, found that the abnormal situation must be dealt with immediately.

2.制動蹄片一般由鐵襯板和摩擦材料兩部分組成，一定不要等摩擦材料部分都磨沒了才更換蹄片。例如捷達車的前制動蹄片，新片的厚度為14毫米，而更換的極限厚度是7毫米，其中包括3毫米多的鐵襯板厚度和近4毫米的摩擦材料厚度。一些車輛帶有制動蹄片報警功能，一旦達到了磨損極限，儀表會報警提示更換蹄片。達到了使用極限的蹄片必須更換，即使尚能使用一段時間，也會降低制動的效果，影響行車的安全。

2. The brake shoe is usually composed of iron liner and friction material. It must not be replaced until the friction material is worn out. For example, the Jetta front brake shoe, the new thickness of 14 mm, and the replacement of the limit thickness of 7 mm, including more than 3 mm thickness of iron liner and nearly 4 mm thickness of friction material. Some vehicles have a brake shoe alarm function, once the wear limit is reached, the instrument will alarm to replace the shoe. The shoe must be replaced to reach the limit of use, even if it can be used for a period of time, it will reduce the effect of braking and affect the safety of driving.

3.更換時要換原廠備件提供的剎車片，只有這樣，才能使剎車片和剎車盤之間的制動效果較好，磨損較小。

3. Change the brake pads provided by the spare parts of the original factory. Only in this way can the brake effect between the brake pads and the brake discs be the best and the wear is the least.

4.更換制動蹄片時必須使用專用工具將制動分泵頂回。不能用其他撬棍硬壓回，這樣易導致制動鉗導向螺絲彎曲，使剎車片卡死。

4. when replacing brake shoes, special tools must be used to return the brake sub pump. It can not be hard pressed back by other crowbar, which will easily lead to the bending of the brake guide screws and block the brake pads.

5.更換制動蹄片后，一定要踩幾腳剎車，以消除蹄片與制動盤的間隙，造成一腳沒剎車，易出現事故。

5. After replacing the brake shoe, must step on several feet brake, in order to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc, causing the first foot no brake, easy to occur accidents.

6.變速箱維修廠家介紹制動蹄片更換后，需磨合200公里方能達到較佳的制動效果，剛換的蹄片須謹慎行駛。

6. Gearbox maintenance manufacturer introduces the replacement of brake shoe, need to run in 200 km to achieve the best braking effect, just changed shoe must be carefully running.
