Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — the TRW Way
> Sweet as! Your Toyota Estima or Liteace's brake pads are a wear item, no doubt. They wear down over time, and that means less stopping power and maybe even rotor damage. Changing them out regularly keeps you safe as houses.
What Clued You In?
• Squealing like a pig or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Taking longer to stop than you'd like
• Brake pedal feels a bit soft, aye?
• Pads look a bit worse for wear
• Brake warning light's on
WOF Worries?
Worn pads are a no-no for a WOF. They need enough meat on them to stop you safely. Give them a geeze regularly so you don't get caught out at WOF time.

Alright, before you get cracking, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always!
