Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With TRW
> Brake pads are what bring your Ford Falcon or Territory to a halt, turning all that forward motion into heat as they clamp down on the rotors. Over time, they wear down, and you'll need to swap them out to keep your stopping power up to scratch – especially important when you're carting the kids around or hauling gear in the Ute.

Heard Any of These Giveaways?
• Squealing like a stuck pig or a nasty grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Your brakes feeling a bit soft, or taking longer to pull you up.
• That pesky brake pad warning light glaring at you from the dash.
• Visibly worn or damaged pads when you take a peek.
• Feeling a shudder or wobble through the brake pedal.

WOF Worthy?
Worn-out brake pads are a dead cert for failing a WOF here in NZ. They need to be thick enough to do their job properly. Give them a regular check to make sure you're up to scratch.

Difficulty: 6/10

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about jacking up your Falcon or Territory, grab these essentials to make the job safer and cleaner:
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper Jack Stands. And don't forget your Safety Glasses to keep that brake dust out of your peepers.
• Keep it Clean: Those brake pads kick up a lot of nasty carbon dust, so give your rotors a good blast with some Brake Cleaner. It'll help everything bed in nicely and stop that awful squeal.
• Glove Up: Brake fluid and carbon are not your skin's friends. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• No Squeaks: A tiny smear of Anti-Seize Grease on the caliper pins will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent annoying squeaks down the line.

Bob's Two Cents
Worn brake pads are a serious safety risk in your Ford Falcon or Territory, especially when you're loaded up with precious cargo (your family!). Get them sorted pronto. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for sussing out exactly what you need for your Ford Falcon or Territory. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
These brake pads are made to fit a wide range of Ford Falcon and Territory models from 2004-2016, including XR6, G6E, and FPV versions. Double-check they're the right ones for your specific model and year before you get started. Some models might need different pad compounds depending on the braking system and how you drive.

🧰 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.
