Abstract
A brake wear gauge assembly includes a plurality of wires that is each comprised of a bendable material such that each of the wires is retained in a desired shape for guiding between a brake rotor of a vehicle and a brake pad of a vehicle. A ring is provided that has each of the wires movably disposed thereon thereby facilitating the plurality of wires to be portable. A plurality of feeler gauges is each coupled to a respective one of the wires. Each of the feeler gauges can be inserted between the brake rotor and the brake pad and each of the feeler gauges has a unique measuring thickness with respect to each other. In this way the plurality of feeler gauges can measure a variety of distances between the brake rotor and the brake pad.
Claims5
A brake wear gauge assembly for checking the degree of wear on brake pads of a vehicle, said assembly comprising:
- a plurality of wires, each of said wires being comprised of a bendable material such that each of said wires is retained in a desired shape wherein each of said wires is configured to be guided between a brake rotor of a vehicle and a brake pad of a vehicle;
- a ring having each of said wires being movably disposed thereon thereby facilitating said plurality of wires to be portable;
- a plurality of feeler gauges, each of said feeler gauges being coupled to a respective one of said wires wherein each of said feeler gauges is configured to be inserted between the brake rotor and the brake pad when said receptive wire is guided between the brake rotor and the brake pad, each of said feeler gauges having a unique measuring thickness with respect to each other wherein said plurality of feeler gauges is configured to measure a variety of distances between the brake rotor and the brake pad;
- and
- wherein each of said wires has a length of at least 8.0 inches wherein said plurality of wires is configured to facilitate a respective one of said wires to be positioned between the brake rotor and the brake pad without removing an associated tire from the vehicle.
A brake wear gauge assembly for checking the degree of wear on brake pads of a vehicle, said assembly comprising:
- a plurality of wires, each of said wires being comprised of a bendable material such that each of said wires is retained in a desired shape wherein each of said wires is configured to be guided between a brake rotor of a vehicle and a brake pad of a vehicle;
- a ring having each of said wires being movably disposed thereon thereby facilitating said plurality of wires to be portable;
- a plurality of feeler gauges, each of said feeler gauges being coupled to a respective one of said wires wherein each of said feeler gauges is configured to be inserted between the brake rotor and the brake pad when said receptive wire is guided between the brake rotor and the brake pad, each of said feeler gauges having a unique measuring thickness with respect to each other wherein said plurality of feeler gauges is configured to measure a variety of distances between the brake rotor and the brake pad;
- wherein each of said wires has a first end and a second end, said second end of each of said wires having an engagement being attached thereto;
- and
- wherein said engagement on said second end of each of said wires has said ring slidably extending therethrough.
A brake wear gauge assembly for checking the degree of wear on brake pads of a vehicle, said assembly comprising:
- a plurality of wires, each of said wires being comprised of a bendable material such that each of said wires is retained in a desired shape wherein each of said wires is configured to be guided between a brake rotor of a vehicle and a brake pad of a vehicle;
- a ring having each of said wires being movably disposed thereon thereby facilitating said plurality of wires to be portable;
- a plurality of feeler gauges, each of said feeler gauges being coupled to a respective one of said wires wherein each of said feeler gauges is configured to be inserted between the brake rotor and the brake pad when said receptive wire is guided between the brake rotor and the brake pad, each of said feeler gauges having a unique measuring thickness with respect to each other wherein said plurality of feeler gauges is configured to measure a variety of distances between the brake rotor and the brake pad;
- and
- wherein each of said feeler gauges has an outside surface, said outside surface of each of said feeler gauges having a first side and a second side to define said measuring thickness between said first side and said second side.
