Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With TRW
> Your Hyundai's brake pads are what scrub against the rotors to slow you down. They wear out over time from all the heat and friction, especially if you're doing a lot of city driving or hauling around a heavy load in your ix35 CRDi.
What Clued You In?
• Screeching or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Brakes not biting like they used to, or taking longer to stop
• The brake pad light's lit up on your dash
• Pads look thin or worn out
• Feeling a wobble or pulse in the brake pedal
WOF Worries?
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. Give 'em a gander regularly to make sure you're all good.

• Blast That Brake Dust! Brake cleaner spray is your best mate for getting rid of all that carbon dust. Makes everything cleaner and easier to work with. Brake Cleaner
• Keep the Grime Off: Pop on some heavy-duty nitrile gloves. Keeps your hands clean, and protects them from the chemicals. Nitrile Gloves
• Anti-Seize is Your Friend: A wee bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future headaches.

🧰 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.
