Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Edition
> Your brake pads are what slow you down, turning all that forward motion into heat when they squeeze against the rotors. They wear out over time on your Nissan Skyline, Bluebird or Primera, and dodgy pads mean dodgy braking, and possibly wrecked rotors.

What Clued You In?
• Screeching like a banshee or a nasty grinding when you hit the brakes
• Brakes not biting like they used to
• Pedal feels soft as butter
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch slice of cheese
• Car veers off to one side when you brake

WOF Worthy?
Dodgy brake pads are a dead cert for WOF failures in NZ. They need to be thick enough to pull you up safely. Give 'em a squiz regularly to make sure you're all good.

Skill Level: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, spanners, sockets, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, mate, safety first! Grab some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your eyes, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep the hands clean. Give those brake rotors a good blast with some Brake Cleaner to get rid of all the brake dust – that stuff's nasty. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots to keep things moving smoothly. Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper stands!

Expert Recommendation
Replacing your brake pads is a no-brainer for safe driving. Worn pads turn your stopping distance into a postal code. These TRW pads (SKU GDB1008DT) are a solid choice, but CARFIX has a bunch of options to suit your wallet and your driving style. Bob @ CARFIX is your man to sort out exactly what you need for your Nissan. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact Nissan model and year. Some have different brake setups. Best to be sure before you get started.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF2591S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
