Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads? Yeah, they're kinda important. They're what actually stops your car, using friction against the rotors. Over time, especially in vans like the Peugeot Partner or family cars like the Citroen Berlingo, they wear out from all the heat and grind.
Uh Oh... Symptoms You Might Be Noticing
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls (squealing).
• Grinding noises that make you cringe.
• Brake pedal feels soft as butter.
• You can see the pads are looking pretty sad and thin.
• That pesky brake warning light is glaring at you.
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They gotta be thick enough to actually, you know, stop the car properly.

Skill Level: 6/10 (Tricky but doable)
Time Needed: Give yourself 2-3 hours
What You'll Need: Jack, axle stands (never skip these!), wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner spray, brake pad spreader tool, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about touching those brakes, grab yourself some Brake Cleaner. You'll want to blast away all that nasty brake dust. Safety first, too – chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the dust out of your peepers, and a pair of Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean from all the brake grime. And don't forget a wee bit of Anti-Seize Grease for the caliper bolts to keep them moving freely next time you're in there. Never get under a car supported only by a jack!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Sw, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4183S) 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.
