Description
Swapping Out Your Honda Civic IMA Brake Pads — With TRW
> Brake pads are what stop your Honda Civic IMA, using friction against the rotors. They wear down over time, especially if you're hard on the brakes, which means less stopping power and potentially damaged rotors. Not ideal, eh?
Is It Time For New Pads? Spotting The Signs
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes? That's a classic sign.
• Is your stopping distance getting longer? Not good in a tight spot.
• Brake pedal feel a bit soft or spongy? Could be worn pads.
• Can you see the pads are looking thin or damaged?
• That brake warning light on the dash lit up?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF in NZ. They must be thick enough to stop you safely. Check the latest Land Transport NZ guidelines to be sure.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're sorted with everything you need:
• Safety First, Always: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper Jack Stands. It's a no-brainer.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away the grime before you start. Makes the job much nicer.
• Hand Protection: Protect your mitts with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Keeps the grease and grime off your skin.
• Quiet Brakes: A little dab of anti-seize Caliper Grease on the caliper pins helps keep things moving smoothly and prevents squeals.
• Eye Protection: Safety Glasses are a must to keep brake dust out of your eyes.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Civic Ferio, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF3021S) 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.
