Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads? Yeah, they're kinda important. They're what slows you down, turning all that go-power into a bit of heat. Eventually, they wear out, especially if you're always in town like a courier in a Corolla or lugging stuff around in a RAV4. Time to get them sorted.
Gutted? Reckon These Are Your Symptoms
• Brakes sound like a strangled cat?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Brake pedal feels like you're stepping on a sponge?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch?
• Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brakes are a surefire way to fail your WOF. Your pads need to be thick enough to do their job properly. Give 'em a regular squiz to make sure you're all legal.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Toyota. Brake setups can be different, even on the same model. Make sure they're right for your Mark X Zio or Vanguard too, as they might have their own unique brake bits.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle X Zio, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF7399S) 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.
