Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW (Top Brand)
> Your brake pads are what stop your Hilux or Land Cruiser, turning all that forward motion into heat when they squeeze against the rotors. Over time, they wear down, meaning longer stopping distances – not ideal when you're cruising around NZ, especially with a load on!
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes?
• Brakes feel a bit soft or don't bite like they used to?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Can see the pads are looking thin or damaged?
• 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. They gotta be thick enough to do the job properly, so make sure you check the Land Transport NZ guidelines. No one wants a sticker for that!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, safety first! Always use axle stands – never trust a jack alone. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean, and Safety Glasses to keep the brake dust out of your eyes. You'll want some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty carbon dust, and a dab of anti-seize Caliper Grease on the caliper pins will keep things smooth as. Trust me, a little prep goes a long way!
Expert Recommendation
Don't skimp on brakes – it's a no-brainer for safety. TRW pads (like this one) are a great balance of performance and price. Bob's always here to help you pick the right pads for your Hilux or Land Cruiser. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Hilux, Land Cruiser, or other vehicle. Some models have different brake setups depending on the year and trim. Measure twice, fit once!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF1418S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!

🧰 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.
