Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — with TRW
> Brake pads are what stop your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 5-t 616 CDI, using friction to slow you down. They wear down over time, especially if you're giving them a hammering with heavy loads or tough conditions. Best to get them sorted before they cause bigger issues.
Spotting the Signs
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you brake?
• Taking longer to pull up than usual?
• That brake pad warning light glaring at you?
• Pads looking thinner than a cafe lunch slice?
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. Make sure they're thick enough to do the job; check the latest WOF guidelines for the minimums.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, here's a few must-haves to keep you safe and the job clean:
• Safety First: Chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep that brake dust out of your eyes.
• Glove Up: Grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves – brake dust is minging, and keeps your hands clean.
• Cleanliness is Key: A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate for blasting away brake dust and grime. Makes everything easier to handle.
• No Squeals: A wee bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things quiet and smooth.
Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Axle stands are a no-brainer.

🧰 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.
