Question:

question about new brakes please?

just got my car back since it s light came on that I needed new brakes. well now the new brakes don t stop as good as my old ones. they need to be pushed down more to brake and it startles me since im used to my old brakes braking with just a slight tap. the new ones need to be pushed down further in order to brake. I hope I m explaining myself right. my husband tells me it s normal cause it needs to break in. true?

Answer:

Seal both ends first so it won't absorb the glue. Then use either Tacky Glue or Super Fusion. Both will work just fine.
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/axHB2 Joe, with no offense meant, NO. I tile every day of my life, and answer tile Q's here often. Certainly there are mastics,,, similar to liquid nails that will be viable for Ceramic tile install, but not HOT glue. Steven Wolf Just my two sense
This Site Might Help You. RE: How do you glue ceramic? I have a couple of ceramic things that I broke,one is a decorative teapot, and one is a big horse. I have tried several glues including super glue and even that magic putty stuff from t.v. but it doesn't work.
Things to always remember about brake pads. #1. Always replace them with factory original pads from the dealer of the car. #2. If the rotors have worn past their throwaway thickness replace them. Your new car dealer or any auto parts dealer can tell you what the worn throwaway thickness of your front and rear rotors are. #3. If your car is over three years old ask your new car dealer to *change the brake fluid. Moisture from the atmosphere has been entering the vent hole on the master-cylinder reservoir cover since the day it left the factory when it was new. When water mixes with brake fluid it lowers the boiling point which makes petal pressure harder. If whoever did your brake job opened any of the four bleeder valves they may have accidently allowed air to enter the brake system which causes spongy hard braking. Incorrect type of brake pad frictional surface will cause hard braking.
Believe it or not, there are different compositions of brake material and they each have their own character/effectiveness. But, besides that, the brake system may have air in the fluid that needs to be bled out to make the pedal firm like it should be. Breaking in the pads or shoes takes place very quickly and if you drove 5 or 10 miles in traffic that won't be an issue. Usually when the light comes on for the brakes, it's triggered by the fluid in the reservoir getting critically low. It's possible at that point for air to suck into the brake line. Have your brakes bled. If you had the brakes done at a shop and they didn't offer that, they should be mightily complained on. Bleeding the brakes can also flush out old brake fluid which has absorbed moisture, and you want all that gone, since moisture encouraged corrosion in the lines and brake cylinders. You can avoid more expensive maintenance later when you do this before it does its damage.
