Introduction: Instructables - HOW TO CHECK THE BRAKE PADS
This is my toy car, I had a trip planned to San Francisco and thought it might be a good idea to do a brake check and make any needed repairs.
Believe it or not, I am not an experienced mechanic. I have a garage full of tools and some experience though I find it to be a better experience using the TechShop it do any mechanical repairs, in this case checking my brake pads.
