TRW Brake Pad Replacement: A No-Brainer Guide
> Brake pads? Yeah, they're kinda important. They're what slows down your wheels using friction, see? And on heavy SUVs like the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, they wear out faster than you'd think because of all that weight and grunt.
Uh Oh... Reckon Your Brakes Need Doing?
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you brake?
• Brakes feel a bit... mushy?
• That pesky brake pad warning light's on?
• Can see the pads are lookin' a bit sad and worn?
• Takes a while to pull up at the lights?
Will it pass WOF?
Failing a WOF because of worn brake pads? Yeah, that's a classic Kiwi experience. Gotta have enough meat on those pads to stop safely, mate.
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

🧰 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.
