Description

Brake Pad Replacement: Get it Sorted with TRW
> Brake pads, eh? They're the unsung heroes of your car's stopping system, turning all that go-juice into a safe and sound halt. Like a good pair of boots, they wear out over time, especially if you're cruising in a daily driver like a Toyota Camry or giving it heaps in a Toyota Celica. Keep an ear out for the tell-tale signs; you don't want to end up kissing the bumper in front.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a piglet when you hit the brakes.
• Taking longer to stop than a freight train.
• Feeling a judder through the pedal.
• The pedal feels softer than a cafe lunch.
• Pads looking thinner than a worn-out jandal (less than 3mm).
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads? Mate, that's a guaranteed WOF failure. No ifs, buts, or maybes. Get them sorted before inspection time.

Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools You'll Need: Jack, sturdy jack stands, wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, spanner set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush – the usual suspects.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, safety first, eh? Never get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper jack stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean from that brake dust – nasty stuff. And don't forget Safety Glasses to protect your peepers. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of the muck and grime. A wee bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things smooth for next time.
Bob's Two Cents
Here's the yarn: Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should swap out those brake pads the moment they start complaining. Leaving it too long can mean you're up for new rotors as well, and nobody wants that. TRW pads are a solid choice, known for doing the job right across a bunch of vehicles, from the Toyota Cresta to the Lexus LS 400. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we'll get you sorted with the right kit for your Toyota or Lexus!
Vehicle Fitment
These pads are a good match for a heap of popular Japanese rides, including Toyota Cresta VVTi (1996-2001), Camry (1993-1996), Crown (1995-2001), Altezza VVTi (1999-2005), Corolla (2000-2002), Celica i 16V (1996-1999), and the Lexus LS 400 (1989-1995). Always double-check the specifics to be sure.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Spacio, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF1423S) 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.
