4. ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
നിരാകരണം: Brake system work requires specialized knowledge and tools. Improper installation can lead to brake failure, serious injury, or death. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a certified automotive technician.
4.1. സുരക്ഷാ മുൻകരുതലുകൾ
- സുരക്ഷാ ഗ്ലാസുകളും കയ്യുറകളും ഉൾപ്പെടെ ഉചിതമായ വ്യക്തിഗത സംരക്ഷണ ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ (പിപിഇ) എപ്പോഴും ധരിക്കുക.
- Ensure the vehicle is securely supported on jack stands on a level surface.
- Never rely solely on a jack for vehicle support.
- Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
4.2. General Installation Steps (Front Axle)
- വാഹനം തയ്യാറാക്കുക: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and block the rear wheels. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, then raise the front of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands. Remove the front wheels.
- Remove Old Brake Pads: Locate the brake caliper. Remove the caliper guide pin bolts and carefully slide the caliper off the rotor. Support the caliper to avoid stressing the brake hose. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
- പരിശോധിച്ച് വൃത്തിയാക്കുക: Inspect the brake rotor for wear, scoring, or warping. If necessary, replace the rotors. Clean the caliper bracket and hardware mounting points thoroughly with a wire brush and brake cleaner.
- പുതിയ ഹാർഡ്വെയർ ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Install the new hardware clips (where provided) onto the caliper bracket. Apply a thin layer of the included synthetic lubricant to the contact points where the brake pads will slide.
- Install New Brake Pads: Insert the new Bosch QuietCast brake pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring they fit securely and slide freely.
- കാലിപ്പർ വീണ്ടും കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കുക: Carefully slide the caliper back over the new pads and rotor. Reinstall the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten them to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- ബ്ലീഡ് ബ്രേക്കുകൾ (ആവശ്യമെങ്കിൽ): If the brake system was opened or air entered the lines, bleed the brakes according to your vehicle's service manual.
- വീലുകൾ വീണ്ടും ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Reinstall the wheels and hand-tighten the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque in a star pattern.
- ബ്രേക്ക്-ഇൻ നടപടിക്രമം: Follow the recommended break-in procedure for new brake pads to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from varying speeds without coming to a complete stop, allowing the pads to properly seat with the rotors. Consult the packaging or Bosch website for specific break-in recommendations.

5. പരിപാലനം
Regular inspection and maintenance of your brake system are crucial for safety and performance.
- പതിവ് പരിശോധന: Inspect brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels at least twice a year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- ബ്രേക്ക് ഫ്ലൂയിഡ്: Check brake fluid levels and condition. Replace brake fluid according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
- പാഡ് വെയർ: Replace brake pads when the friction material wears down to the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer (typically 2-3mm).
- റോട്ടർ അവസ്ഥ: Ensure rotors are free from deep grooves, cracks, or excessive runout. Replace rotors if they are below minimum thickness or severely damaged.
6. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
If you experience any of the following issues, consult a qualified technician immediately:
- ഞരക്കുകയോ പൊടിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുന്ന ശബ്ദം: This often indicates worn brake pads or issues with the caliper hardware.
- ബ്രേക്കിംഗ് സമയത്ത് വൈബ്രേഷൻ: May suggest warped rotors or uneven pad wear.
- മൃദുവായ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ സ്പോഞ്ചി ബ്രേക്ക് പെഡൽ: Could be a sign of air in the brake lines or a brake fluid leak.
- വാഹനം ഒരു വശത്തേക്ക് വലിക്കൽ: Can indicate uneven brake wear, a seized caliper, or hydraulic issues.
- Excessive Brake Dust: While QuietCast pads are designed for low dust, excessive dust could indicate an underlying issue or improper break-in.
