Ensure your peace of mind, as well as safety on the road by inspecting and replacing your Pontiac brakes at the first sign of deterioration. Simple maintenance and repair habits will pay off with your Pontiac brakes. The task requires inspecting the mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical components in both the front and rear brakes. Replace the front and rear pads or shoes, or the brake rotors or discs. Inspect wheel bearings, and in older models, you must repack those bearings. It's a good practice to lubricate all critical areas such as caliper slides and shoe pads with moly-based high temperature brake grease at that point. Then, check and adjust the parking brake. Replace the Pontiac brake fluid, if the levels are low. Bleed the brake lines to remove trapped air. Look for leaks in the hoses, lines, wheel cylinders, calipers and master cylinder, and see if there are any cracks, bulges, or damage to the hoses. While you are there, look at the calipers and wheel cylinders for leaks, severe corrosion or damage. Does the brake pad wear sensor show cracks or damage? Then, make sure you do not see any warning lights or trouble codes for the ABS system, if you have one. Maintaining your Pontiac brakes is one of the most essential safety measures you must take, in order to ensure the safety of yourself and your passengers.
