Description
Nissan Elgrand Brake Pad Replacement: The TRW Way
> Brake pads, eh? Absolutely crucial for keeping your Nissan Elgrand safe on the road. They're what creates the friction to slow you down, and they wear out over time like anything else. Letting them go too long can mean dodgy braking and even damage to your rotors. Especially important on a bigger wagon like the Elgrand.
Reckon Your Pads Are Kaput? See If You've Noticed...
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you brake?
• Brakes feeling a bit soft and slow to respond?
• Taking longer to pull up than usual?
• Steering wheel or pedal vibrating when you hit the brakes?
• Pads looking a bit thin or worse for wear?
WOF Woes?
Failing a WOF because of worn brake pads is a no-brainer. They need to be up to scratch to keep you safe. Check the Land Transport NZ guidelines to make sure you're within the legal limits.
DIY or Hand It Over?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, wrench and socket sets, brake cleaner, pad spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, a few things to keep in mind. First, safety is paramount! Never, ever get under the Elgrand supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life depends on it. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean and knuckle-rash free, and Safety Glasses to protect your peepers from brake dust – that stuff's nasty. You'll also want a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away all the old carbon dust and grime from the rotors and calipers. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the brake pad shims to prevent any future squealing. Trust me, your ears (and the neighbours) will thank you!
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out those brake pads is a must for keeping your Elgrand safe as houses. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances, not ideal! Swing by Bob's Shop - I'm always happy to chew the fat and help you find the perfect parts for your Elgrand.
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads are the right fit for your specific Elgrand (2010-2099). See if you've got standard or heavy-duty brakes, as that'll affect what pads you need. Bob's always here to help if you get stuck!

🧰 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.
