Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Your Peugeot or Citroen's brake pads are what turns all that 'going' energy into 'stopping' power, using friction against the rotors. Pads wear down over time, and that means longer stopping distances – not ideal, especially in a family wagon like the 5008 or a stylish DS5. Time for a change, eh?

Tell-tale Signs It's Time for New Pads
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls or a rusty gate when you hit the pedal.
• Braking feels a bit 'soft' or takes longer to pull up.
• That pesky brake pad warning light's glaring at you from the dash.
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch slice of ham.
• One pad's wearing faster than the others? Could be a sticky caliper.

WOF Ready?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Those pads need to be a decent thickness to guarantee you can stop safely. No arguments there.

DIY or Hand It Over?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands (never skip these!), wrench and socket set, brake cleaner (essential!), brake pad spreader, torque wrench.

• Brake Cleaner: This stuff is gold for blasting away brake dust and grime from the rotors and calipers. Makes everything work smoother. Brake Cleaner
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease where the pads contact the caliper helps prevent squealing and ensures smooth movement. Caliper Grease

🛠️ 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. 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.
