Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With TRW
> Brake pads are what bring your Volvo S60, S80, V70, or XC70 to a halt. Over time, they wear down, meaning less stopping power. This is super important, especially if you're hauling the kids around, or running a heavier LPG/CNG model.

Tell-Tale Signs It's Time for New Pads
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Brake pedal feeling a bit soft or spongy?
• Can see the pads are looking pretty worn or damaged?
• That pesky brake warning light's lit up on your dash?

WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a classic WOF fail here in NZ. Your pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Pop into your local mechanic or WOF guru for the lowdown.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools You'll Need: Jack, jack stands (never skip these!), wrench and socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, safety first, eh? Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. Trust me, brake dust is a bugger to get off! Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of that carbon dust. And when you are putting the calipers back on, use a dab of anti-seize caliper grease (available at CARFIX) on the bolts to avoid headaches down the line.

Expert Advice
Swapping out your brake pads is a no-brainer for safe driving. These TRW pads (GDB1389) are a solid choice, but CARFIX has options for every budget and driving style. Bob's always keen to help you find the right part for your Volvo. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your Volvo model, year, and engine. Brake systems can vary, especially across the S60, S80, V70, and XC70 ranges.

🛠️ 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. DF2660S) 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.
