At what point should you change these things.





Ps pin in Brembo Calipers, realize there's quite a knack to it.

Those are about done I would say, better to change them before you get metal to metal contact.

Having said that I just changed the brakes on my Ford Taurus, the rear drums were stuffed, they have been screeching for months but hey, it's not a motorcycle.

Changed,
Yes this is what I call done too about 2mm.
 Mind they only start with about 5mm.
I'm guessing this equates to about 10000 miles use for most people on a rear brake but I guess it's highly variable as some people won't hardly use the rear.
Had a job getting t pin out but now I see how it is held in should be a doddle next time.
