Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — Featuring TRW
> Brake pads are a key part of how your car slows down. They clamp against the brake rotors, using friction to bring you to a halt. Over time, they wear down, and you'll lose some serious braking power. That's not ideal, especially if you're hauling gear in a Pajero or Delica, or needing to stop quick in an FTO.
Signs It's Time for New Pads
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls, or maybe a bit grindy.
• Your brake pedal feels soft or doesn't bite like it used to.
• The steering wheel or pedal vibrates when you hit the brakes.
• It takes longer to stop than it should.
• That pesky brake warning light's lit up on the dash (if your car's got the sensors).
WOF Worthy?
Nope, not with worn-out pads. A dodgy set of brake pads is a surefire way to fail your Warrant of Fitness here in NZ. Your pads need to be above the minimum thickness (usually around 1.5mm to 2mm) and shouldn't have any cracks, oil, or glazing. Good brakes are essential for safety and passing that WOF.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 5/10 (A good challenge)
Time Needed: An afternoon, roughly 1-2 hours per axle (if you know your way around the shed).
Gear You'll Need: Jack, axle stands (never skip these!), wheel brace, G-clamp or piston compressor, spanners/sockets for the caliper, brake cleaner, torque wrench, and a wire brush to clean things up.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth it!
• Cleanliness is Key: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you start pulling things apart. This'll keep the dust down and help you see what you're doing.
• Hand Protection: Those brake parts can get pretty grimy. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will save your hands from a whole lot of mess.
• Don't Forget the Grease: A little dab of caliper grease on the right spots (the caliper pins and the back of the pads) helps keep things moving smoothly and prevents squealing.

🧰 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.
