Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Your Jeep's brake pads are what stops you, turning all that forward motion into heat by squeezing against the rotors. They wear down over time, especially if you're hitting the trails or towing the boat. Don't get caught out with dodgy brakes!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a pig when you brake?
• Brakes feeling a bit spongy?
• That pesky brake warning light is on?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch slice of bread?
• Pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF. They need to be thick enough to actually, you know, stop the car! Keep an eye on them to avoid the dreaded pink sticker.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
🧰 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.
