Hockey players wear pads to protect themselves from a number of things. The shear speed of the game can cause injuries due to bodily contact. They are also used to protect them from injuries from the sticks, skates and the puck. The puck is 3 ounces of frozen rubber than can travel at over 100 mph. If you have ever seen a hockey game you will notice players placing themselves in the path of the puck to break up plays by the opposing team. Most noticeable is the goalie. He wears the most padding as he is the last defense of the goal. The goalie bears the brunt of the hardest and most direct shots.

How do you replace brake pads on a 2000 Pontiac Montana?

you need to remove the front wheels then locate and remove the two bolts holding the caliper in place.once you do this you might have to pry on the caliper a little to get it to come off,once it comes off then remove the brake pads one at a time making sure to note which one has the ware sensor on it.once you remove the pads then you will need to squeeze the caliper piston back in, i have found that the easiest way to do this is to use a big"c" clamp.after you get the piston back in then you can put the new pads in. then just do the reverse to put it back together.
