Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Edition
> Your Toyota Mark II, Cresta, or Chaser relies on its brake pads to keep you safe on the road. Over time, these pads wear down, impacting braking and potentially harming your rotors. Given these models are often used for daily commutes and family trips, keeping your brakes in top nick is a no-brainer.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a stuck pig every time you brake
• Brakes feeling a bit soft or slow to respond
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights
• Feeling a wobble or judder through the pedal
• That pesky brake pad warning light glaring at you
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF. Pads need enough meat on them to guarantee you can stop safely. Give them a regular once-over to avoid that dreaded fail sticker.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, safety first! Grab some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your eyes, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. Brake dust is nasty stuff – you don't want that all over your mitts. And next, blast those calipers with some Brake Cleaner to get rid of any sneaky carbon buildup. Finally, a smear of anti-seize caliper grease will keep everything moving smoothly. Never get under a car supported only by a jack!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the pads fit your exact model and caliper type. Some models have different pad shapes. Always replace pads in pairs (both sides) for even braking.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Ii, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF1431S) 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.
