Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Edition
> Brake pads are a real wear-and-tear item, especially on Nissans like the Pathfinder and Navara that often face tough conditions. When they wear down, your braking suffers, which is gutting when you're relying on them for towing or tackling off-road adventures.

• Feel a shudder or wobble through the brake pedal?

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, mate, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – always use proper stands. Have some Brake Cleaner handy to blast away all that carbon dust – it's nasty stuff. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean, and a bit of anti-seize caliper grease to keep things moving smoothly. Safety glasses are a must too, to keep the dust out of your eyes.
Expert Recommendation
Keeping your brake pads fresh is a no-brainer for safety, especially on Pathfinders and Navaras that work hard. These TRW pads (GDB3405) are a reliable choice, but CARFIX has options for every budget and driving style. Swing by Bob's Shop – he's always up for a yarn and can sort you out with the right parts for your Nissan!
Fitment Notes

🧰 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.
