Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Raybestos PGD1610C disc brake pads requires removal of the existing brake pads and inspection of the rotors for wear or damage. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse of existing hardware is necessary if still in good condition. Ensure the brake caliper slides and pins are clean and lubricated to prevent uneven pad wear. The included pad shims are pre-attached, simplifying installation and helping to reduce noise. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and perform a brake system test after installation.
