Description

Brake Pad Replacement: TRW Edition
> Brake pads are the unsung heroes of your braking system, clamping down on the rotors to bring you to a halt. Like a good pair of gumboots, they wear out over time, especially if your Carisma or Persona is clocking up the daily commute. Ignoring worn pads? That's just asking for trouble.

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you hit the brakes
• Taking longer to stop than you reckon you should
• The brake pedal's vibrating like a kid with too much fizzy drink
• The pedal feels soft and spongy
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch ham

Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a WOF killer! They're a safety hazard, mate. Minimum thickness is a must-pass item.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 5/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a wire brush.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, a few Bob's pointers to keep you safe and make the job a piece of cake:
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth more than a few bucks.
• Blast that Brake Dust: Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to spray down the rotors and calipers. Brake dust is nasty stuff, and you don't want to be breathing it in.
• Keep Your Mitts Clean: Those brake components get pretty grimy, so slip on some Nitrile Gloves to protect your hands. Makes cleanup a breeze, too!
• Grease is the Word: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots (check your manual!) will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future squeaks.
• Protect your eyes: Safety glasses are a no-brainer when working with brake parts.

Expert Recommendation
I reckon you should sort those brake pads as soon as you see any of those warning signs. Don't risk further damage! These TRW GDB1198 pads are a solid choice, built tough for everyday driving in cars like the Carisma and Persona. Call into Bob's Shop, and we'll get you sorted for your Mitsubishi Carisma or Proton Persona.

Fitment Notes
These pads are made for various Mitsubishi Carisma (1995-2006) and Proton Persona 400 416 i (1995-2000) models, plus the Mitsubishi Mirage 16V (2001-2004) and Proton Impian (2001-2007). Always double-check your exact model and year – brake setups can be different even on the same model.

Swing by Bob's Shop, and we'll get you sorted!

Slap on some new pads, and she'll be right as rain! – Bob

🛠️ 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. DF2784S) 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.
