Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Buggered if your Peugeot or Citroen's brakes aren't up to scratch? Brake pads wear down over time, no doubt, leaving you with dodgy stopping power and maybe even rotor damage. Swapping them out regularly keeps you safe, especially in models like the 406 and Xsara. A no-brainer, really.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a banshee when you hit the brakes.
• Braking feels about as responsive as a sleepy sloth.
• That pesky brake pad warning light's glaring at you.
• Pads look like they've seen better days (or are visibly damaged).
• Stopping distances that could measure in kilometers.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads? That's a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be thick enough to actually, you know, stop the car. Give 'em a regular once-over.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, a few quick words from yours truly. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper stands, mate. Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep the hands clean. Brake dust is nasty stuff!

While you're at it, grab a can of brake cleaner to blast away all that carbon dust – makes the job cleaner and the new pads work better. And a wee smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly for ages. Trust me, a bit of prep goes a long way.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing your brake pads is essential for maintaining safe driving conditions. The TRW brake pad set (GDB1423) is a reliable choice for your Peugeot 406 or Citroen Xsara. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Peugeot or Citroen. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
Ensure these brake pads are compatible with your specific Peugeot 406, 607, or Citroen Xsara model and year. Some models may have different brake systems, so double-check the fitment before installation.

🛠️ 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. DF2581S) 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.
