Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Style
> Your Toyota Belta, Vitz, Yaris, or Ractis relies on its brake pads, but these wear down over time, like your favourite jandals. Ignoring worn pads means dodgy stopping power and potential rotor damage, which no one wants! Keep things safe with regular replacements, especially if you're always battling the city traffic.
Uh Oh... Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms:
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding.
• Taking way too long to stop.
• The brake pedal's vibrating like crazy.
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch sandwich.
• That pesky brake warning light's on.
Will it pass WOF?
Failing your WOF due to worn brake pads? That's a no-brainer. They need enough meat on 'em to stop safely. Give 'em a squiz regularly to avoid the hassle.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, a few must-dos to keep you safe and the job sweet:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported *only* by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth it!
• Blast That Brake Dust: Brake cleaner is your best mate here. Give everything a good spray to get rid of that nasty carbon dust. You can find great Brake Cleaner right here at CARFIX.
• Keep the Hands Clean: Brakes can be a dirty job, so grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean and protected.
• Grease is the Word: Use a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the appropriate spots to keep things moving smoothly and prevent future squeaks.
• Protect Your Eyes: Safety glasses are a must. Brake dust and debris can be a real pain in the eye.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Yaris, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4335S) 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.
