Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads are what bring you to a stop, pressing against the rotors. They wear down over time, especially in those nippy little city cars like the Daihatsu Boon and Nissan Pixo. Keeping them in good nick is a no-brainer for safety.
Spotting the Signs of Wear
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you brake?
• Brakes not as sharp as they used to be?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Brake pedal feeling a bit soft and squishy?
• Pads look a bit thin or busted?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF. Land Transport NZ has strict rules on pad thickness for good reason – your safety! Make sure you check their guidelines.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth it!
• Cleanliness Counts: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to keep it under control. Plus, it helps the new pads bed in nicely.
• Glove Up: Protect your mitts with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Keeps the grease and grime at bay.
• Lube It Up: A wee smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent annoying squeals.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4155S) 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.
