Description
Brake Pad Sorted! DIY Guide with TRW
> Brake pads are what stops your Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX, or Toyota Harrier using friction against the rotors. Over time, they wear down, and your braking goes to custard. Let's get them changed!
How Did We Get Here Then?
• Squealing like a pig when you brake.
• Brakes not biting like they used to.
• Pedal feels soft as butter.
• Pads are looking thinner than a cafe lunch.
• That brake warning light's glaring at ya.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They gotta be thick enough to pull you up safely, so don't muck about.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, spanners, socket set, brake cleaner (get that brake dust off!), torque wrench, and a G-clamp or brake spreader.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands. Also, chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the brake dust out of your eyes.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you start pulling things apart. And grab some Nitrile Gloves – your hands will thank you!
• Protect Your Investment: A little bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future squeals. Worth its weight in gold, that stuff.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake pads regularly keeps you safe, especially in SUVs like the Highlander and RX that often lug around decent loads. Fresh pads mean better braking and stops damage to other bits like the rotors. Pop into Bob's Shop, and I'll sort you out with the right part for your [Vehicle Type].
Fitment Notes
Double-check the new pads fit your exact model and year. Sometimes there are different brake setups depending on the trim level. Make sure the pad shape and size are spot-on before you start.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 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.
