Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads are your car's first line of defense when you hit the anchors. They wear down over time, especially in tough conditions. Keeping them fresh is a no-brainer for safety, particularly in family wagons like the Toyota Estima and trusty vans like the Liteace.
Spotting the Warning Signs:
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig?
• Brake pedal feeling soft or spongy?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Seeing the brake warning light glaring at you?
• Pads looking thinner than a cafe lunch?
Will it pass WOF?
Bald brake pads? Gutted, mate, that's a WOF failure waiting to happen! Land Transport NZ has strict rules on pad thickness for safe braking. Don't risk it; check 'em!
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
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, a few quick safety and prep tips from yours truly:
• Safety First, Mates! Never EVER get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life depends on it!
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give those calipers a good blast with Brake Cleaner to keep things tidy.
• Lube is Your Friend: A dab of anti-seize Caliper Grease on the caliper pins helps everything move smoothly and prevents future headaches.
• Hand Protection: Keep those mitts clean and protected with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner can be a bit rough on the skin.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a must-have to protect your eyes from brake dust and debris.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Estima;Lucida, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF2744S) 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.
