Description
Brake Pad Replacement: The TRW Way
> Brake pads? They're the unsung heroes that grip onto your brake rotors, turning all that go-power into whoa-power. Over time, especially with all that stop-start action in a nippy wee car like a Toyota Yaris or Vitz, they wear down. Don't get caught short – good brakes are a no-brainer for safety.
Uh Oh, Brake Pad Trouble?
• Hear a squeal or a nasty grinding when you hit the brakes?
• Brakes feel a bit soft, or you're not stopping like you used to?
• Steering wheel or brake pedal shaking when you slow down?
• Car pulling to one side when you brake?
• That pesky brake warning light's lit up on the dash?
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a definite WOF fail! They'll be checking that thickness, so don't risk it.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 5/10 (A decent challenge)
Time Needed: An hour or two per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, lug wrench, C-clamp or piston compressor, wrench set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, maybe some caliper grease.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, here's a quick rundown to keep things safe and tidy. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away that brake dust – it's nasty stuff. A can of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly, too. Safety first, so don't forget your safety glasses and Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean. And remember, NEVER get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper jack stands – your life's worth it.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 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.
