Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads, eh? They're what stops ya, and they wear out over time. Especially on comfy cruisers like the Rover 800 and Honda Legend, you want those brakes working sweet as! Let's keep you safe out there.
How'd You End Up Here, Mate?
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Car pulling to one side like it's got a mind of its own?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch?
• Brake pedal feels softer than a cloud?
WOF Time Coming Up?
Worn brake pads are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in NZ. Those pads need enough meat on 'em to stop you safely. Check the Land Transport NZ website for all the official rules.
DIY or Hand It Over?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands (never skip these!), wrench and socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, safety first! Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. Brake dust isn't something you want all over ya. When you've got the old pads off, give the brake rotors a good blast with some brake cleaner to get rid of all that carbon dust. Lastly, when you're putting everything back together, a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins will keep things moving smoothly.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake pads regularly is a no-brainer for keeping your braking sharp. Worn pads can wreck your rotors and make stopping distances longer than a queue for the Boxing Day sales. TRW brake pads (GDB486) are a top choice for your Rover 800 or Honda Legend, giving you dependable performance. But hey, we've got options! I'm always here to lend a hand and sort you out with the right parts for your ride. Pop into Bob's Shop and let's have a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact Rover 800 or Honda Legend model and year. Some models have different setups. Always do both sides at once (both sides of the axle) so your braking's even-steven.

🛠️ 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 (Part No. DF1811S) 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.
