Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — A TRW Guide
> Brake pads are like the tread on your tyres – they wear down over time. Ignoring worn pads means dodgy braking and potential rotor damage. This is especially crucial for those classic Holdens like the H Series and Monaro. They might not get driven every day, but they still need to stop safely!
Signs You've Come to the Right Place
• Brakes are squealing like a gutted pig
• Braking feels like you're trying to stop a runaway train
• Taking way too long to pull up at the lights
• Steering wheel or brake pedal doing the Macarena (vibrating like crazy)
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch sandwich
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Your pads need enough meat on them to pull you up safely. Check the Land Transport NZ guidelines for the nitty-gritty.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth it!
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Use plenty of Brake Cleaner to blast away the grime. It will improve braking performance and keep your lungs happy.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and grease can dry out your skin quicker than a summer drought.
• Lube It Right: A little caliper grease on the right spots prevents sticking and noise. Don't go overboard, just a thin smear where the pads contact the caliper.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake pads is a no-brainer for safety, especially on a classic like the Holden WB One Tonner. TRW pads (like these) give you a good mix of performance and value. CARFIX stocks a heap of brake pad options to match your budget and driving style. Pop into Bob's Shop and have a yarn – I'll sort you out with exactly what your Holden needs!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Holden model and year. Some models had different brake setups from the factory, or might have been modded over the years.

🧰 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.
