Using these brake pads is straightforward. Just replace your old brake pads with these new Hawk high - performance ones following the standard vehicle brake pad replacement process. As a tip, it's a good idea to bed - in the new brake pads. You can do this by gently applying the brakes a few times after installation to help them seat properly. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the brake pads for wear. If you notice the brake performance deteriorating or hear unusual noises while braking, it might be time to inspect the pads. Also, keep the brake system clean. Avoid getting oil, grease, or other contaminants on the brake pads as this can reduce their effectiveness. Remember, if you're not confident in replacing or maintaining the brake pads yourself, it's always a good idea to have a professional mechanic handle it.
