Car brake pump maintenance and care mainly include the following aspects:
Check the brake fluid regularly: Brake fluid is the key to the normal operation of the brake pump. It is recommended to check the brake fluid every two years or every 40,000 kilometers to ensure that its level is between the minimum and maximum marks and that it is kept clean and free of impurities. After long-term use, the brake fluid will absorb moisture, lower the boiling point, and affect the braking performance, so it is necessary to replace the brake fluid regularly.
Clean the brake pump: It is essential to keep the brake pump clean. Use a special cleaner to clean the surface of the brake pump regularly to remove dust and dirt, and avoid using a high-pressure water gun to directly rinse to prevent moisture from entering the pump. When cleaning, use a non-corrosive cleaner and avoid using products that may corrode the internal rubber seals.
Check the seal: Check the seals and interfaces of the brake pump regularly to ensure that there are no leaks. If a leak is found, the seals should be replaced or repaired in time to prevent the brake fluid from leaking and affecting the braking effect.
Lubrication and maintenance: Add special grease to the moving parts of the brake pump to reduce wear and keep it running smoothly. Choose lubricating grease with good high temperature resistance to prevent melting or failure at high temperatures.
Full inspection of the brake system: Regularly inspect and maintain the brake pads, brake discs and pipes to ensure the health of the entire brake system. Any abnormal phenomena such as abnormal noise, leakage or wear should be dealt with in time.
Replace the brake fluid: Regular replacement of the brake fluid is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the brake cylinder. Failure to replace the brake fluid for a long time will cause the piston and seal to wear faster, affecting the braking performance.
Dealing with abnormal noise and wear: If the brake cylinder is not maintained for a long time, it may cause abnormal noise and wear. By checking the degree of wear of the brake pads and comparing the thickness difference of the brake pads on both sides, it can be determined whether there is abnormal wear.
