Description
Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Sorted with TRW
> Brake pads are a consumable alright, designed to give your Mazda CX-3 or Mazda 3/Axela the friction it needs to pull up safely. They wear down over time, especially with all that stop-start driving we do, so keeping on top of them is a no-brainer for safety.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig?
• Taking longer to stop, or the pedal feels a bit soft?
• Feeling a judder through the steering wheel when you brake?
• Dashboard light telling you the pads are getting low?
• Having a peek and seeing the pads are looking a bit thin?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads? Nah, won't fly at WOF time. They need a decent bit of meat left on them (at least 1.5mm) and no dodgy cracks or contamination to keep you safe.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, lug wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, and potentially a brake fluid bleeder kit if calipers are opened.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Axela, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF8122S) 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.
