Description
Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Brake pads are what stops your Hyundai Elantra, Lavita, or Matrix. Over time, they wear down, especially with all that stop-start driving around NZ. Bad pads mean bad braking and can even damage your rotors. Let's get 'em sorted.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Takes longer to stop.
• Brake pedal feels soft.
• You can see the pads are worn out.
• Brake warning light's on.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. Your pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Check the LTSA standards for the minimum thickness.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake grease, C-clamp or brake spreader tool.

Before you dive in, a quick word from your mate Bob. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper jack stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean, and Safety Glasses to protect your eyes from brake dust (that stuff's nasty!). A can of Brake Cleaner is gold for blasting away brake dust and grime, and don't forget a bit of anti-seize caliper grease to keep things moving smoothly.

• 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.
