Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads are a consumable part of your braking system. Their job is to squeeze against the rotors, turning your car's motion into heat and slowing you down. Over time, they wear out, which means less stopping power, especially in our tough Kiwi driving conditions.

Spotting the Trouble Signs
• Screeching or grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Taking longer to stop.
• Feeling a shudder in the brake pedal.
• The pedal feels soft or spongy.
• Pads are looking thin (less than 3mm).

Will it pass WOF?
No way, mate. Worn-out brake pads are a major safety issue and an instant WOF fail here in New Zealand. You need good pads and strong braking to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A good challenge)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools You'll Need: Jack, axle stands, wheel brace, G-clamp or caliper tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush. Brake bleeder if you need to open the lines.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist

Before you dive in, a bit of prep goes a long way, eh? Safety first, always:
• Safety Glasses: Keep those peepers safe from flying dust and debris. Grab a pair of Safety Glasses.
• Nitrile Gloves: Brake dust is minging. Keep your mitts clean with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that brake dust and grime. A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins makes everything smooth.

Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should change your brake pads the moment you see wear. It keeps you safe and stops damage to your rotors. RDA pads are a solid choice for your Honda Civic or CR-V – they're reliable and last well. CARFIX has something for every budget. Pop into Bob's Shop and we'll sort you out with the right parts for your Honda!

Fitment Notes
These pads are made for a wide range of Hondas, including the Civic (1991-2001), Domani (1992-2000), Airwave/Partner VTEC (2004-2010), and CR-V (2005-2007). Always double-check the fine print – your car's year, make, model, and sub-model – to make sure they're a perfect fit. Honda liked to mix things up a bit!

Bob's waiting to help you get your Honda sorted!

🧰 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.
