Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Style
> Your Honda's brake pads are what slow you down, turning all that go-power into heat when they squeeze against the rotors. Over time, especially with all that stop-start driving in your CR-Z, Fit or City, they wear out and don't work as well.

Uh Oh, Sounds Like You've Got These Issues:
• Brakes are making a racket – squealing or grinding like crazy.
• Taking longer to stop, feels like you're driving on ice.
• The brake pedal's vibrating or feels funny.
• Pads look super-thin or are falling apart.
• That brake warning light's glaring at you from the dash.

WOF Time? Will They Pass?
Worn brake pads are a common reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be thick enough to stop you safely. Check the official Land Transport NZ guidelines to be sure.

Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools You'll Need: Jack, axle stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner spray, brake pad spreader tool, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you start yanking those old pads, mate, let's make sure you're sorted for a safe and tidy job. Grab these essentials:
• Safety First: Never, ever get under your car supported only by a jack! Always use proper Jack Stands. And don't forget your Safety Glasses – brake dust in the eye is no fun.
• Keep it Clean: Brakes create a nasty black dust. A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate for blasting it away from the rotors and calipers. Use it in a well-ventilated area, yeah?
• Hand Protection: Those brake parts can be sharp and grimy. A pair of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Lube it Up: A wee dab of Anti-Seize Grease on the caliper pins will keep things moving smoothly and stop annoying squeals.

Expert Recommendation
Swapping out those brake pads is crucial for keeping your Honda CR-Z, Fit, or City stopping like it should. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances, and that's just not worth the risk. These TRW brake pads (GDB3493) are a ripper choice for solid performance and reliability. Bob's always here at CARFIX to help you figure out exactly what you need for your Honda.

Fitment Notes
Double-check that these pads are the right ones for your specific Honda CR-Z, Fit, or City, and the year it was made. Brake systems can be different, especially between the different models and years.

🛠️ 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. 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.
