Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Brake pads are the workhorses of your braking system, clamping down on the rotors to bring your vehicle to a halt. For commercial vehicles like the IVECO DAILY – which are built to haul serious weight and tackle everything from city streets to long hauls – your brake pads are going to take a hammering. Keep on top of the wear and tear to avoid a hairy situation.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig, grinding, or a metallic racket when you hit the brakes.
• Taking longer to stop than a freight train, or the brake pedal feels like you're stepping on a sponge.
• The steering wheel or brake pedal are shaking like a dog passing peach stones when you brake.
• Brake pads are looking thinner than a Kiwi saver account after Christmas.
• The brake warning light is glaring at you from the dashboard.
Will it pass WOF?
No way, mate. Dodgy brake pads are a guaranteed WOF fail. They check the pad thickness and brake system function to make sure you can stop safely. Driving a commercial vehicle with knackered brakes? Not only illegal, but downright dangerous. Don't be a tool.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (if you're handy) / 2/10 (if you're a pro)
Estimated Time: Give yourself 1-3 hours per axle, depending on your ride and how good you are with the spanners.
Tools You'll Need: Jack and stands, wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston compressor, brake cleaner, torque wrench, sockets/wrenches, and maybe some caliper guide pin grease.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, let's get those brakes sorted the Kiwi way. Safety first, eh?
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or debris flying into your peepers. Grab a pair of safety glasses – Safety Glasses – before you start.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your mitts clean and protected from brake fluid and grime. Heavy-duty nitrile gloves – Nitrile Gloves – are your best mate here.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that stubborn brake dust and gunk! A can of brake cleaner – Brake Cleaner – will make the job a whole lot easier.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots ensures smooth operation and prevents annoying squeals.

🛠️ 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. DF2787S) 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.
