Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Your brake pads are what stop your Toyota Corolla or Celica, so they're pretty important! They wear down over time, especially if you're often in tough conditions. Letting them wear too far can mean dodgy braking and even damage to your rotors. Not ideal, eh?
Symptoms That Led You Here

• Reduced braking responsiveness or longer stopping distances.

• Visible wear or damage to the brake pads during a visual inspection.
• Pulsation or vibration felt through the brake pedal.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brakes are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. Your pads need enough meat on them to pull you up safely. Check out the Land Transport NZ guidelines to be 100% sure.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, a few quick things to keep in mind to keep you safe and get the job done right, the first time:
• Safety First, Bros! Never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack. Use proper jack stands. Safety glasses are also a no-brainer to keep that brake dust out of your peepers.
• Keep it Clean: Brake cleaner is your best mate here. Give everything a good blast to get rid of brake dust and grime. Keeps things working sweet and stops that dust from getting everywhere. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner from us.
• Glove Up: Brake dust is nasty stuff. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Don't Forget the Grease: A little anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots keeps everything moving freely and stops those annoying squeals.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Corolla;Runx, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF7127S) 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.
