Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The TRW Way
> Brake pads are those hardworking friction bits that squeeze against your brake rotors, turning your Toyota Echo, Yaris, or Corolla's forward motion into heat to slow you down. They wear down over time, especially with all that stop-start driving, so keeping them in good nick is a no-brainer for safety.

Tell-tale Signs You've Found This Guide
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding like you're driving on dusty metal tracks.
• Taking longer to stop than you're used to.
• Steering wheel or brake pedal vibrating when you hit the brakes.
• Brake pedal feels soft and spongy.
• Pads are looking thin (less than 3mm of material left).

WOF Worthy?
Nah mate, worn brake pads are a WOF killer. They need to have enough meat left on them to actually do their job and keep you safe.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 5/10 (A good challenge)
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per axle
What You'll Need: Jack, jack stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), lug wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, wrench set, torque wrench, and some trusty brake cleaner.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or cleaner in your peepers. Safety Glasses
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean and protected from brake dust and chemicals. Nitrile Gloves
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that carbon dust and grime from the rotors and calipers. Makes the job much easier and cleaner. Brake Cleaner
• Caliper Grease: Use anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins and pad contact points to ensure smooth movement and prevent sticking. This will also help reduce brake noise.

Bob's Two Cents
I reckon you should swap out your brake pads the moment you notice any of those signs above. Keep yourself and everyone else safe on the roads, eh? These TRW GDB7075AT pads are a solid choice for your Toyota. Don't muck around with your brakes – it's just not worth it. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn about the best options for your car!

Fitment Notes
These pads are designed to fit a bunch of popular Toyota models from the early 2000s, like the WILL VS, bB, Echo, Yaris, Corolla, and Funcargo. Double-check your exact model and year, though, just to be sure, as there can be a few variations.

🛠️ 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. DF1423S) 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.
