How to Use Brake Lubricant The brakes on your car cause it to slow and stop by using friction. The brake pads press against the rotor or drum in the wheel, whether it's a drum brake or a disk brake. Using lubrication on a system that requires friction might seem like a bad idea, but the correct lubricants are crucial to proper brake function.etroleum-based lubricants would make rubber and plastic seals deteriorate. If you're getting ready to do a brake job, don't forget to buy the proper lubricants along with your new pads and rotors. For metal-on-metal lubrication, look for dry film lubricants containing either molybdenum disulfide or graphite.

How To Change Your Brake Pads Front brakes usually wear out more quickly than the rear brakes (which could either be disc or drum brakes), so they need to be changed more often. You need to change brake pads when they get too thin, especially if they begin to make a persistent metallic squeaking or grinding noise when you press the brake pedal.our car might only have one piston for each wheel, but the principle is the same. Before you can lower the caliper into place, these pistons need to be retracted (pushed back) so that they will clear the new, thicker brake pads. 8. Do-it-yourselfers often use a C-clamp to retract the piston or pistons.

Brake Fluid Exchange When you step on the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid rushes to each brake to apply the pressure that slows your vehicle. Over time the fluid can become compromised by moisture and other contaminants and brake performance can suffer. Your Jiffy Lube® Technician will inspect your car and tell you whether a brake fluid exchange is called for. If it is, the technician will remove the old fluid and replace it with new fluid that meets or exceeds your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. You’re good to go.

Complaint Review: Jiffy Lube My daughter, from out of State, came back and borrowed my car. She volunteered to take the car in for an oil change. Somehow, people at Jiffy Lube moved my front tires (with deeper treads) to the rear and moved my rear tires (with minimum treads) to the front and charged her $19.99. After I found out and complained, the store manager only agreed to move the tires again, but refused to refund the money.

- How do you change your own brake pads on a 1996 Toyota Paseo? First, apply wheel chocks to the rear wheels to keep your vehicle from rolling and loosen the 4 lug nuts before you raise the wheel off the ground. Now, raise the car and set… it on a jack stand. This is safer than leaving the car on the jack while you remove the wheel and perform the repair. Set the jack stand on the frame to avoid damaging the underbody of the vehicle. Next, remove the wheel and set it aside. You will now be looking at the rotor and caliper.
