Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Brake pads are a seriously important bit of kit in your Toyota Land Cruiser Prado or Mitsubishi Pajero. They use friction to slow you down, and they wear out over time, especially if you're towing, off-roading, or just giving them a good workout in tough Kiwi conditions.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a pig or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Brakes feeling a bit soft and unresponsive
• Taking longer to pull up than usual
• Feeling a wobble or pulsing through the brake pedal
• Visually seeing that your pads are looking pretty sad
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a classic reason for failing a WOF here in New Zealand. They've gotta be above the minimum thickness to keep you safe on the roads.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you dive in, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Keep those peepers protected from brake dust and flying bits. No one wants a trip to the eye doctor.
• Nitrile Gloves: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Keep your hands clean and avoid the grime with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that brake dust and grime. Makes the job cleaner and helps the new pads bed in properly. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents annoying squeals. Don't go overboard, just a light smear where the pads contact the caliper.

Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake pads is vital for keeping your braking sharp, especially on vehicles like the Toyota Hilux and Land Cruiser Prado that cop a fair beating. Bob @ CARFIX is always ready to lend a hand to figure out exactly what part you need for your vehicle. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these brake pads fit your specific year and model. Some models have different brake setups. Always replace brake pads in pairs (both front or both rear) so your braking is even-stevens.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Pajero;Shogun, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF7061S) 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.
