Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Edition
> Brake pads? Yeah, they're kinda important. They squeeze against your brake rotors to slow down your Subaru Legacy, Impreza, or BRZ. Thing is, they wear down over time, and that means your braking goes to custard and might even wreck your rotors. Not ideal, eh?
What Clued You In?
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls when you hit the pedal.
• Takes longer to pull up at the lights, mate.
• Pedal feels like you're stepping on a sponge.
• Pads look sad and worn out.
• That pesky brake warning light's glaring at ya.
WOF Worthy?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be thick enough to stop you safely. Give your local garage a bell, or swing by Bob @ CARFIX for the lowdown on thickness.
DIY or Hand it to the Pros?
Skill Level: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, spanners, sockets, brake cleaner, torque wrench, and a brake spreader tool.
Expert Advice
Keeping your brake pads in good nick is a no-brainer for safe driving in your Subaru. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances and can bugger up other bits. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for sussing out exactly what you need for your Subaru. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your Subaru model, year, and spec. Some models have different brake setups. Always do both pads on an axle (both fronts or both rears) for even braking.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, a bit of prep goes a long way, eh? Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away that nasty brake dust – it's not good to breathe in. And for the love of clean hands, get yourself some Nitrile Gloves – those brake bits can be grimy as. Safety glasses are a must, too; you don't want anything flying in your eyes. Lastly, a wee bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things smooth for next time. Now, let's get those brakes sorted!

Bob's your uncle!

🛠️ 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. DF1437S) 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.
