Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads are like the tread on your tyres – they wear down over time, especially on Nissans like the Altima, Skyline, and X-Trail that tackle both city streets and open highways. Don't get caught out with dodgy brakes; keep them in tip-top shape.
Tell-tale Signs Your Brakes Need Some Love
• Squealing like a pig when you hit the brakes
• Brakes feeling a bit soft and unresponsive
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like
• Feeling a judder in the pedal when you brake
• Visibly worn or damaged pads – they should have plenty of meat left on them
Will it pass WOF?
Brake pads are a biggie when it comes to getting your WOF. If they're too thin, you'll be turned away faster than you can say 'failed inspection'. Keep an eye on that thickness!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours (give or take)
Tools You'll Need: Jack, axle stands (never skip these!), lug wrench, socket set, spanners, brake caliper tool, brake cleaner, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about cracking those wheel nuts, let's talk safety and keeping things clean:
• Safety First, Mate: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Axle stands are your best mates here. Eye protection Safety Glasses is a no-brainer when dealing with brake dust. And grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean – brake dust is nasty stuff!
• Cleanliness is Key: Give those brake components a good blast with Brake Cleaner. It'll get rid of all the built-up grime and brake dust.
• Lube It Up: A little Caliper Grease on the caliper pins will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent annoying squeals.

🧰 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.
