Holden Commodore Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads are a seriously important part of your Holden's braking system. They wear down over time, which means less stopping power and potential damage to your rotors. Swapping them out regularly keeps you safe on the road.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a banshee or a nasty grinding noise when you hit the brakes
• Brakes feeling a bit soft or slow to respond
• Taking way longer to stop than usual
• Feeling a wobble or judder through the brake pedal
• Pads looking thin or damaged when you peek at 'em
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. Your pads need to be thick enough to pull you up safely. Keep an eye on them to avoid that dreaded pink sticker!

🧰 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.
