Description

Ford Falcon & Fairlane Brake Pad Replacement — With RDA

> Time to swap out those brake pads on your trusty Falcon or Fairlane? Good call. Worn pads mean less stopping power, and that's never a good mix, especially in tough conditions. Keep your classic Aussie sedan safe and sound with a fresh set of pads.

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Feeling a wobble in the pedal?
• Pads looking thinner than a cafe lunch?
• Dashboard light screaming at you?

Will it pass WOF?

Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be thick enough to do their job properly. Check the Land Transport NZ guidelines to be sure.

DIY or Workshop?

Difficulty: 6/10

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours

Tools Required: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, wrench set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First: Don't be a hero. Wear safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers and grab some Nitrile Gloves to protect your hands from the grime.
• Cleanliness Counts: Give those calipers a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of all the built-up carbon dust and gunk. A clean surface is a happy surface.
• Protection is Key: A little anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future headaches.

Fitment Notes

Make sure these brake pads are the right match for your specific Falcon or Fairlane model and year. Check for any differences in the brake setup, especially if you've got ABS or a different engine.

🧰 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.
