I had the car in for state inspection yesterday. The metal wear indicator tab is about to contact the brake rotor, indicating it's time to replace the pads.
Problem is, the pads are still at least an eigth of an inch thick. The rivets only come out about 1/32 inch into the pad right ??
Why would the wear tab be positioned like it is? Can I bend it easily with a pliers ?
It would be a shame to waste so much good brake pad.
Thanks
