Kucetyiswa ukuba usebenzise idiski yebrake, i-caliper kunye ne-brake pad yoluhlu lweebrake ezihambelana nemoto yakho. Ixesha elifanelekileyo lokutshintsha i-brake pad kukuba ubukhulu be-brake pad yebrake yediski bunokuhlolwa ngokunyathela ipleyiti yebrake, ngelixa ubukhulu be-brake pad kwisihlangu sebrake yedrama brake kufuneka buhlolwe ngokutsala isihlangu sebrake kwibrake.
Umenzi umisela ukuba ubukhulu bee-brake pads kuzo zombini ii-disc brakes kunye nee-drum brakes abuyi kuba ngaphantsi kwe-1.2mm, kuba yonke imilinganiselo yokwenyani ibonisa ukuba ii-brake pads ziyaguga kwaye ziqhekeka ngokukhawuleza ngaphambi okanye emva kwe-1.2mm. Ke ngoko, umnini kufuneka ajonge aze atshintshe ii-brake pads kwi-brake ngeli xesha okanye ngaphambi koko.
Kwizithuthi eziqhelekileyo, phantsi kweemeko eziqhelekileyo zokuqhuba, ubomi benkonzo yephedi yebhuleki yangaphambili yi-30000-50000 km, kwaye ubomi benkonzo yephedi yebhuleki yangasemva yi-120000-150000 km.
Xa ufaka iphedi entsha yebrake, ingaphakathi nengaphandle kufuneka zahlulwe, kwaye umphezulu wokungqubana kwephedi yebrake kufuneka ujongane nediski yebrake ukuze idiski ilingane kakuhle. Faka izixhobo kwaye ubophe umzimba weclamp. Ngaphambi kokuqinisa umzimba wetong, sebenzisa isixhobo (okanye isixhobo esikhethekileyo) ukutyhala iplagi kwiTong ngasemva ukuze kube lula ukufakela iTong endaweni yayo. Ukuba iphedi yebrake kwibrake yedrama kufuneka itshintshwe, kuyacetyiswa ukuba uye kumzi-mveliso wolondolozo lobuchwephesha ukuze usebenze ngobuchwephesha ukuze uphephe iimpazamo.
Isihlangu sebhuleki, esaziwa ngokuba yi-brake pad, sisetyenziswa kwaye siya kuphelelwa ngamandla xa sisetyenziswa. Xa sinxitywe kwindawo emiselweyo, kufuneka sitshintshwe, kungenjalo siya kunciphisa impembelelo yokuqhobosheka kwaye sibangele neengozi zokhuseleko. Isihlangu sebhuleki sinxulumene nokhuseleko lobomi kwaye kufuneka siphathwe ngononophelo.
