Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
​
> Brake pads are like the jandals of your van's braking system – they wear out over time, especially on workhorses like the Citroen Jumper and Fiat Ducato that are always hauling gear. Letting them go too long is just asking for trouble (and a hefty repair bill).

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you hit the brakes.
• Taking longer to stop than a freight train.
• Brake pedal feels softer than a cafe lunch.
• Pads look thinner than your wallet after a night out.
• That pesky brake warning light is glaring at you.

Will it pass WOF?

Worn brake pads are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in New Zealand. If they're too thin or damaged, it's an instant fail. No surprises there.

DIY or Workshop?

Difficulty: 6/10

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours

Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist

Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're sorted with the essentials. We don't want any mishaps or unnecessary hassles, eh?
• Safety First: Grab some safety glasses to keep that brake dust out of your eyes. Trust me, you don't want that stuff in there.
• Glove Up: Get yourself a pair of nitrile gloves. Brakes get filthy, and these will save your hands from looking like you've been down a coal mine.
• Brake Cleaner: Brake cleaner is your best mate for blasting away all that carbon dust and grime. Give everything a good spray down before you start pulling things apart.
• Caliper Grease: Don't forget some anti-seize caliper grease for the caliper pins. This will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent those annoying squeaks.

Remember, safety is paramount. Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands, and if you're not confident, leave it to the pros.

Expert Recommendation

Keeping your brake pads in good nick is a no-brainer for safe driving, especially in vans that are always working hard. Letting them wear down too much can damage your rotors, leading to bigger problems. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your van. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!

Fitment Notes

Double-check these pads fit your exact model and year. Vans can be a bit tricky, and sometimes there are differences depending on when they were made or what options they have. Always check the manufacturer's specs to be sure – especially for those Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroen Jumper models.

Bob's tip: When you're doing your brakes, give those rotors a good look-over too. If they're scored or worn, it's best to replace them at the same time. Save yourself some hassle down the track!

🛠️ 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. DF2721S) 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.
