Description

Ford Falcon, Fairlane & Territory Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Brake pads are what stops your beast. They convert the car's energy into heat by squeezing against the rotors. Over time, they wear down, especially on bigger cars like your trusty Ford. Don't get caught out; keep 'em in good nick!

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes – sounds like a tram!
• Braking feels a bit... vague. Like trying to stop a runaway sheep.
• Pedal feels soft and spongy. Not ideal.
• You can see the pads are looking pretty sad.
• That pesky brake warning light's lit up on the dash.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. They need enough meat on them to stop safely. Regularly check your brake pad thickness to keep your Ford Falcon, Fairlane, or Territory road legal.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, wrench set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, mate!
• Safety Glasses: Protect your peepers from brake dust and debris. You only get one set of eyes!
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and away from brake dust. Brake cleaner can be harsh on the skin, too. Grab some Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that nasty brake dust. Makes everything easier to work on, and keeps the dust out of your lungs. A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Caliper Grease: Use a proper anti-seize brake grease on the caliper pins and pad contact points. Stops things seizing up and squealing later on. Get the right stuff from Bob!

Expert Recommendation
Replacing your brake pads is a no-brainer for safety. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances – not what you want on our roads! Swing by Bob's Shop – I'm always here to help you find the perfect fit for your Ford. Let's get you sorted!

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Ford model and year. Some models have different setups. Pay special attention to LPG, V6 TDCi, and XR8 variants of the Falcon, Fairlane and Territory. Don't get caught out with the wrong parts!

🧰 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.
