Description

Fiat Brake Pad Replacement Guide — TRW Edition
> Sweet as! Your Fiat Elba or Duna's brake pads are a crucial wear item. Over time, they wear down, making it harder to stop and potentially wrecking your rotors. Swapping them out regularly keeps you safe on the road, especially important for older vehicles tackling tough conditions.

Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a pig or grinding noises when you hit the brakes.
• Taking longer to stop than you're used to.
• Brake pedal feels soft and spongy.
• Pads look worn out or damaged.
• Brake warning light's lit up on your dash.

Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brakes are a quick way to fail a WOF in New Zealand. Your pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Check the official Land Transport NZ guidelines for the nitty-gritty.

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

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Always use jack stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean from that brake dust – nasty stuff, that. A can of Brake Cleaner is essential for blasting away carbon dust and grime from the calipers and rotors. And don't forget a bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots to keep things moving smoothly. Safety glasses are a no-brainer to keep the dust out of your peepers!

Expert Recommendation
Keeping those brake pads fresh is a no-brainer for safety. Worn pads can mess up your braking and even damage the rotors. These TRW pads (like this SKU) are a top choice, but CARFIX has options for every budget. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Fiat. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your specific Fiat Elba or Duna year and model. Make sure they match your brake system (disc or drum) and pad dimensions before you start.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these brake pads, don't skimp on proper workshop preparation and safety products. Doing the job right the first time protects your investment, saves massive workshop labor fees, and guarantees a quiet, smooth ride!

🧰 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.
