Land Rover Brake Pad Replacement: The Kiwi DIY Guide
> Your Land Rover's brakes are what keep you safe on the road, using friction to slow you down. But brake pads wear out over time, especially if you're tackling tough conditions in your Range Rover or Discovery. Let's get those brakes sorted!
Is It Time For New Pads? Here's What To Look For
• Squealing like a pig when you hit the brakes.
• Braking feels a bit... weak.
• The pedal feels soft or spongy underfoot.
• Pads look thinner than your cafe lunch.
• Pulling to one side when you brake – that's no good!

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a vehicle supported *only* by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life depends on it!
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Use plenty of Brake Cleaner to blast away the carbon buildup. Makes the job easier, too.
• Lube It Up: A little anti-seize Caliper Grease on the caliper bolts will make your life easier next time you're in there. Plus, it stops annoying squeaks.
• Hand Protection: Grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean and protected from brake fluid.

🧰 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.
