Description

Give Your People Mover a WOF-Ready Stop — With TRW Brake Pads!
> Let's be honest, those brake pads are the unsung heroes of your ride, especially when you're loaded up with the whānau or gear in your Nissan Elgrand or Honda Elysion. They're the friction champions that bring you to a safe halt, but they take a beating. Over time, all that heat and grunt wears 'em down, meaning less stopping power and longer distances — not ideal when you're navigating our beautiful Aotearoa roads.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing, grinding, or metallic scraping noises when braking.
• A spongy or soft brake pedal feel.
• Increased stopping distances.
• Vibrations felt through the steering wheel or brake pedal during braking.
• Visible wear on the brake pads (less than 3mm of friction material remaining).
Will it pass WOF?
No, worn brake pads are a significant safety concern and will cause your vehicle to fail its Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection in New Zealand. Insufficient brake pad material directly compromises braking efficiency.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston compressor, spanner set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a wire brush.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing brake pads is a critical maintenance task that directly impacts your safety and the safety of others on NZ roads. Worn pads compromise your vehicle's ability to stop effectively, which is particularly dangerous for larger vehicles like the Nissan Terrano or Honda Elysion, especially when fully loaded or driving in varied New Zealand conditions. The TRW brake pads are an excellent choice, known for their quality and consistent performance.

🛠️ 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 (SKU DF1414S) 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.
