Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Time for new brake pads on your Chevrolet Spark or Holden Barina Spark? Those pads are what give you the friction to slow down and stop. They wear down over time thanks to heat and hard yakka, which means less stopping power and maybe even rotor damage.
Spotting the Signs of Worn Pads
• Squealing like a banshee when you brake
• Brakes not biting like they used to
• Taking longer to pull up
• Steering wheel or brake pedal doing the Macarena
• That pesky brake pad light glowing on the dash
WOF Worthy?
Worn brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. Your pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Check the LTSA guidelines for the minimum thickness you need to pass.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench
Expert Recommendation
Keeping your brake pads in good nick is a no-brainer for safety on your Chevrolet Spark or Holden Barina Spark. If your pads are worn, you're not stopping as quick as you should, and that's just asking for trouble. Whether you're looking for budget or performance, we've got you covered. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to help you find the perfect pads for your Chevrolet Spark or Holden Barina Spark. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under your Spark or Barina Spark when it's only supported by a jack. Get yourself some proper jack stands – your life's worth it.
• Brake Cleaner is Your Mate: Blast away all that nasty carbon dust with a good Brake Cleaner. Keeps everything clean and helps your new pads bed in properly.
• Grease is the Word: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots stops things seizing up later. Worth its weight in gold, that stuff.
• Protect Your Peepers: Safety glasses are a must. You don't want brake dust or rust in your eyes, trust me.
• Keep Your Hands Clean: Heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected from all the grime. No one wants brake dust under their fingernails.
Fitment Notes
Double-check that these brake pads are the right fit for your specific Chevrolet Spark or Holden Barina Spark, model year and trim. Brake systems can vary, so measure twice, cut once!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Spark, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4439S) 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.
