Description
Get Your Brakes Sorted with TRW Pads
> Brake pads are what stops your car, plain and simple. They clamp down on the rotors, turning forward motion into heat. Over time, especially in family wagons like the Nissan Serena and Bluebird that are always ferrying the kids around, those pads wear thin. Don't get caught out with dodgy brakes!
Spotted Any of These Troubles?
• Brakes squealing like a rusty gate?
• Taking ages to stop, even when you're hoofing it?
• Brake pedal feeling soft as butter?
• Pads looking worse for wear?
• That pesky brake warning light glaring at you?
WOF Woes?
Brake pads are a classic WOF failure point here in NZ. They need to be thick enough to pull you up safely. Give 'em a regular check to avoid the dreaded pink sticker.

Difficulty: 6/10

Expert's Two Cents
Swapping out your brake pads is a no-brainer for safety, especially in family vehicles like the Serena and Bluebird. Thin pads mean longer stopping distances and potential damage to your rotors. These TRW pads (SKU GDB3101DT) are a top pick, but CARFIX has plenty of options to fit your budget. Bob at CARFIX is your man for finding the perfect match for your Nissan.

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact Nissan model and year. Some models have different brake setups depending on the trim level or when it rolled off the factory floor. Always replace pads in pairs across the axle for even braking.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, grab these essentials to make the job a breeze and keep things safe:
• Safety First! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper Jack Stands. And chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers.
• Keep it Clean: Brakes create a lot of nasty dust. A can of Brake Cleaner will blast it all away. Plus, grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean – brake dust isn't exactly cafe lunch material.
• Protect Your Investment: A little Anti-Seize Grease on the caliper bolts will make the job easier next time. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
Bob's always got your back!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Pro, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF2591S) 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.
