Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — TRW Edition
> Kia ora! Your Nissan Primera or Maxima's brake pads are what stop you safely, using friction against the rotors. They wear down over time thanks to heat and hard yakka, so keeping on top of them is crucial.
Spotting The Signs
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes?
• Braking feels a bit slow or spongy?
• Brake pedal feels soft?
• Can see the pads are looking thin?
• That pesky brake warning light's on?
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered brake pads are a dead cert for failing a WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be above that minimum thickness to keep you safe.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Right, before you get cracking, safety first, eh? Grab some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes, and a pair of nitrile gloves – brake dust's a bugger to get off your hands. Give those rotors a good blast with some brake cleaner to get rid of any carbon buildup. And a wee smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things sliding smoothly. Remember, never get under a car supported only by a jack!
Expert Recommendation
Keeping your brake pads in good nick is a no-brainer for safe driving, especially in family cars like the Nissan Primera and Maxima. Bob's always keen for a yarn to help you find the right part for your Nissan. Pop over to Bob's Shop for a chinwag!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Nissan Primera or Maxima model year (2002-2008, 2000-2003, 1999-2002, 1999-2003, 1999-2001). Check your vehicle's specs to be sure. Bob's your uncle!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Maxima Qx, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF1406S) 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.
