Description

Brake Pad Replacement for Your Honda — Let's Get It Sorted with TRW!
> Your brake pads are like the unsung heroes of your Honda's stopping power, designed to gradually wear down as they work hard to slow you safely. Especially for those classic compact Hondas like the City, Jazz, and Beat, keeping those brakes tip-top isn't just about safe city cruising; it's about sailing through that WOF check with a grin.
Sounds Like You Might Be Hearing These:
• A bit of a squeal or a groan when you hit the anchors.
• Brakes feeling a bit soft or taking more effort than usual.
• A judder through the steering wheel or pedal when you're slowing down.
• You've had a peek, and those pads look a bit thin (less than 3mm of friction material left).
• That pesky brake warning light has popped up on your dash (if your old-school beauty has one).
WOF Check? Not With Worn Pads, Mate!
Nah, not a chance. Worn brake pads are a big no-no for your WOF here in Aotearoa. You need at least 1.5mm of friction material across the whole pad to pass. Anything less, and it's a straight-up fail, meaning no cruising until you get them sorted.
Keen to DIY or Call in the Pros?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit of a challenge, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: About 1-2 hours for each end of the car
Tools You'll Need: A reliable jack and some sturdy jack stands (safety first!), a wheel nut wrench, a C-clamp or a proper brake piston tool, a good spanner set, some brake cleaner, a torque wrench for getting things just right, and don't forget your safety glasses and gloves.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive into the job, let's make sure you've got everything you need to do it safely and effectively:
• Stay Safe, Mate! Always use proper jack stands — never get under a car supported only by a jack! And pop on some safety glasses and tough nitrile gloves to protect your peepers and your mitts from brake dust and grime.
• Cleanliness is Key: Grab a can of good quality brake cleaner spray to blast away all that carbon dust and gunk from your calipers and rotors. It makes a huge difference to how everything goes back together and performs.
• Smooth Operator: Don't forget some anti-seize caliper grease for the caliper pins. It keeps things moving freely and quietly, stopping those annoying squeaks.
Bob's Expert Recommendation
Bob here at CARFIX always says, "Don't muck around with brakes!" Get those pads replaced at the first sign of trouble to keep things safe and stop other bits of your braking system from getting damaged. These TRW GDB361 brake pads are a top-notch choice, known for their quality and how well they perform, especially for your trusty Honda City, Jazz, or Beat. Bob's always happy to have a chinwag and help you figure out exactly what your Honda needs. Pop into Bob's Shop for a chat — it's a no-brainer!
Fitment Notes
These TRW pads are specifically designed for a range of Honda City, Jazz, and Beat models from the good old days of 1980 to 1996. Just remember to double-check your car's exact year, make, and model against the product specs. Even within the same model run, there can be little tweaks, so best to be sure!

Bob's got your back, ensuring your Honda stops as safely as it goes. See you at CARFIX!

🛠️ 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 (SKU DF2640S) 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.
