Description
Give Your DAIHATSU MOVE the Stopping Power it Deserves — Featuring TRW Pads!
> Alright team, let's talk about those unsung heroes of your daily commute: your brake pads. For a little city zinger like the DAIHATSU MOVE, which sees its fair share of stop-start action, these pads are absolutely vital. They're what grab those brake discs and bring you to a halt. When they wear thin, your stopping power goes out the window, and that's a recipe for trouble, especially when you're navigating the urban jungle.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding noises when braking.
• Increased stopping distance.
• Vibration through the brake pedal.
• A spongy or soft brake pedal feel.
• Visible wear on the brake pad material (less than 3mm remaining).
Will it pass WOF?
No, worn brake pads will fail a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection in New Zealand. The WOF requires brake pads to have sufficient friction material remaining to ensure safe braking performance.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 5/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wheel brace, spanner/socket set, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, torque wrench, brake cleaner, safety glasses, gloves.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing worn brake pads is essential for maintaining vehicle safety and optimal braking performance. Neglecting worn pads can lead to damage to brake rotors, increased repair costs, and significantly compromise your ability to stop safely. The TRW brake pads are an excellent choice, known for their quality, durability, and consistent performance, making them ideal for the demands of a DAIHATSU MOVE.

Fitment Notes
These brake pads are specifically designed for the DAIHATSU MOVE manufactured between 1998 and 2002. Always double-check your vehicle's exact year and model to ensure correct fitment, as brake system components can vary even within the same model range.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these brake pads, don't skimp on proper workshop preparation and safety products. Doing the job right the first time protects your investment, saves massive workshop labor fees, and guarantees a quiet, smooth ride!
🧰 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.
