- Safely lift and support the vehicle. Remove the wheel.
- Remove the brake caliper and old brake pads.
- Clean the caliper and caliper bracket thoroughly.
- Install new hardware (shims, clips) as provided.
- Install the new TEC-2375 brake pads into the caliper bracket.
- Reinstall the brake caliper and secure all bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle.
- Perform a proper brake pad break-in procedure (bedding-in) as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or brake pad instructions.
Important: Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your braking system is crucial for safety and longevity.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect brake pads for wear, typically every 10,000 to 20,000 km or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Brake Fluid Check: Ensure brake fluid levels are adequate and the fluid is clean. Replace brake fluid according to your vehicle's maintenance schedule.
- Rotor Condition: Check brake rotors for excessive wear, scoring, or warping. Replace or resurface rotors as needed when installing new pads.
- Cleanliness: Keep wheels and brake components clean to prevent accumulation of dust and debris, which can affect performance and lead to noise. TEC brake pads are designed for cleaner wheels with low dust formulation.

6. Troubleshooting
If you experience any issues with your brake pads, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Squealing/Grinding Noise | Improper installation, worn pads, contaminated pads/rotors, lack of lubrication on contact points, worn hardware. | Re-inspect installation, replace worn pads, clean components, apply brake lubricant to non-friction surfaces, replace hardware. |
| Vibration/Pulsation | Warped rotors, uneven pad wear, loose caliper. | Inspect and replace/resurface rotors, check for proper pad seating, tighten caliper bolts. |
| Reduced Braking Performance | Worn pads, brake fluid issues, air in brake lines, contaminated pads. | Inspect pads, check brake fluid, bleed brake lines, replace contaminated pads. |
| Excessive Brake Dust | Normal for some pad types, but excessive dust can indicate issues. | TEC ceramic pads are designed for low dust. If excessive, inspect for rotor wear or other system issues. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, consult a certified automotive technician.
