Swapping Out Brake Pads — With TRW's Finest
> Brake pads? They're the bits that squeeze against your brake rotors, turning 'get-up-and-go' into 'whoa-there'. In vehicles like the Toyota Hilux, Hiace, and Dyna, these pads get a real workout thanks to heavy loads and constant braking, so they wear out faster than you'd think. Keep an eye on them!
Uh Oh... Signs You've Got a Problem
• Brakes sound like a rusty gate? Squealing or grinding?
• Braking feels... weak? Pedal goes all soft and spongy?
• Steering wheel or pedal shakin' like a dog doin' a number two?
• Taking way longer to stop than it used to?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch receipt? (Less than 3mm left? Time to act.)
WOF Woes?
Yep, worn brake pads are a guaranteed WOF failure. No arguments. You need decent pads to pass, full stop.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Tricky-ish)
Time Needed: An hour or two per axle
What You'll Need: Jack, stands (never skip these!), wheel brace, C-clamp (or a fancy piston compressor), spanners/sockets, brake cleaner (crucial!), torque wrench, and maybe a wire brush for stubborn bits.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you dive in, a quick yarn from Bob. Safety first, eh? Always use jack stands – never trust just a jack. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean – brake dust is nasty stuff. And definitely get yourself some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that carbon dust. A can of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly, and safety glasses are a no-brainer to protect your eyes from flying grit.
Bob's Two Cents
I reckon you should swap out your brake pads the moment they show wear. Especially on vehicles like the Hilux, Hiace, and Dyna, where braking is critical. TRW pads are a top pick – tough as nails and reliable. Pop into Bob's Shop and we'll sort you out with the perfect pads for your needs!
Fitment Notes
These pads are sweet for Toyota Hilux, Hiace, and Dyna models from '89 to '06. But double-check your exact model and year – Toyota made heaps of variations of these rigs over the years.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Tacoma, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF1927S) 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.
