Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads are like the jandals of your braking system – they wear out over time! They create the friction that slows you down. If you're cruising in a classic Holden, whether it's for fun or hauling gear, worn pads mean longer stopping distances. That's not just a hassle, it's downright dangerous.

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you brake.
• Brake pedal feels soft as butter.
• Takes forever to stop – feels like you're driving on ice.
• Steering wheel or pedal vibrates when you hit the brakes.
• Pads are visibly worn down to the metal (less than 3mm left).

Will it pass WOF?
No way, mate. If your brake pads are shagged, your car will fail its WOF faster than you can say "flat tyre." Safe brakes are the name of the game when it comes to road legality.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, spanner set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a wire brush.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're all set. Safety first, eh?
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or grime in your peepers. Grab a pair of Safety Glasses.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean and protected from brake fluid. Nitrile Gloves are the go.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty brake dust and gunk. Makes the job cleaner and easier. Get some Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents those annoying squeaks.

Expert Recommendation
Bob at CARFIX reckons you should swap out those brake pads the moment you spot any wear. Keep your braking sharp and safe!

Fitment Notes
These brake pads are made to fit a bunch of classic Holdens, like the H Series (1977-1980), Monaro models (1970-1980), WB One Tonner (1980-1985), and Statesman/Caprice (1971-1976). Always double-check the fit for your exact model and year, especially with these older machines. Things can get a bit fiddly!

🧰 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.
