Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads are what slow you down, pressing against the rotors when you hit the anchors. They wear out over time, especially if you're doing a lot of city driving in your Toyota Yaris or Corolla.
Uh Oh, Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms:
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding
• Braking feels a bit weak, aye?
• Pedal feels soft, like you're stepping on a sponge
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch
• Car pulls to one side when you brake
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in NZ. They need to be thick enough to pull you up safely. Give 'em a regular squiz to make sure they're up to scratch.
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
Expert Recommendation
Getting your brake pads sorted is a no-brainer for safe motoring. If they're worn, you'll be taking longer to stop, which is not ideal, especially in the rat race. These TRW pads (GDB3459) are a solid choice for peace of mind. Bob's always here to point you in the right direction. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, a few things to keep in mind. Brakes are safety-critical, so no cutting corners! First up, safety glasses and Nitrile Gloves are your mates here – protect your eyes and keep the hands clean from that nasty brake dust. You'll also want a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away any carbon buildup. And don't forget a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots to keep things moving smoothly. Remember, safety first, then teamwork!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact Toyota model and year. There can be a bit of variation. Your car's manual or a quick chat with a mechanic will confirm it.

🛠️ 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. DF7425S) 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.
