Description
Brake Pad Replacement: A TRW Guide for Kiwis
> Your brake pads are what actually stops your car, using friction against the rotors. They wear down over time, especially in tough conditions and city driving common for Fiat Doblos and Ford KAs.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a pig when you hit the brakes.
• Braking feels weak or slow to respond.
• Pedal feels soft, like stepping on a sponge.
• Pads look thin or damaged when you peek through the wheel.
• That pesky brake warning light's glaring at ya.
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail your WOF. They need to be thick enough to stop you safely. Check the official Land Transport NZ guidelines for all the details.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-4 hours (for both axles)
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands (never skip these!), wrench and socket sets, brake cleaner, brake grease, and a C-clamp or brake spreader.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Cleanliness is King: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Use Brake Cleaner to blast it away from the calipers and rotors. Keeps everything working sweet.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with a decent pair of Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and grease aren't exactly a cafe lunch for your skin.
• Lube it Right: Use a proper anti-seize brake grease on the caliper pins and pad contact points. This stops things from seizing up and causing more squealing later on.
Expert Recommendation
Worn pads are a safety risk. Get them sorted ASAP. Bob @ CARFIX can help you find the perfect pads for your Fiat or Ford. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the pads fit your exact Fiat or Ford model and year. Some models have different brake setups.

🛠️ 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 (SKU DF2566S) 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.
