GAUGE THICKNESS BRAKE LINING 3 PIECE
Return to Tire & Wheel Service Products

  • Tool to show customer how much brake lining is left that improves customer confidence
  • Increases productivity and eliminates the guess work
  • Green gauge measurement (8 millimeters - .3150 inches) indicates good condition
  • Yellow gauge measurement (4 millimeters - .1575 inches) indicates the need to replace in the near future
  • Red gauge measurement (2 millimeters - .0787 inches) indicates the need to change brake lining

Brake gauge is color coded to show Green (8 millimeter - .3150 inches), Yellow (4 millimeter - .1575 inches) and Red (2 millimeter - .0787 inches), similar to a traffic light green means okay, yellow means get ready to replace in the near future and red means - stop - you have no brake pad left. When the lining is worn out, the backing or rivets will contact the rotors or drums during braking, often causing damage requiring re-machining or replacement of the drums or rotors. An annoying squeal caused by the warning tang is the typical alert that the pads need to be replaced; if the squeal is ignored for too long, drum or rotor damage (usually accompanied by an unpleasant grinding sound or sensation) will be the typical result.
