Description

Mitsubishi L200/Triton Brake Pad Replacement — TRW Edition

> Let's be real, your L200/Triton's brake pads are gonna wear out eventually. All that stopping and starting, especially when you're hauling stuff or hitting the dusty metal tracks, chews through them. Ignoring worn pads? That's just asking for trouble (and maybe a bigger bill later).

Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes? Not good.
• Braking feels a bit... mushy? Time to investigate.
• Pedal feels soft or spongy? Could be your pads.
• Can actually *see* the pads are looking worse for wear?
• That pesky brake warning light's lit up on the dash?

WOF Woes?

Worn-out brake pads are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be thick enough to do the job properly and safely. Check the official Land Transport NZ guidelines for the exact legal requirements.

DIY or Call in the Pros?

Difficulty: 6/10

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours

Tools You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skip on safety!), wrench and socket sets, brake cleaner (essential!), C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench (for doing it right).

🛠️ 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. DF3118S) 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.
