Description

Toyota Celica/Corolla Brake Pad Swap: An RDA Special
› Brake pads, eh? They're like the jandals of your braking system on your Toyota Celica GTi, Sprinter Trueno, or Corolla Levin. Give 'em enough stick and they'll wear out, leaving you with dodgy stopping power and maybe even rotor damage. Swapping them out regularly keeps you safe, especially if you drive it like you stole it.

What Clued You In?
• That squealing sound that makes everyone turn their heads (and not in a good way).
• Brakes feeling a bit soft? Like trying to stop a runaway sheep with a tea towel?
• Taking longer to pull up than it takes to boil a jug?
• Feeling a judder in the pedal when you hit the brakes?
• Actually seeing the pads looking worse for wear.

WOF Worthy?
Brake pads below the minimum thickness are a surefire way to fail your WOF. Keep an eye on them to avoid the dreaded pink sticker.

DIY or Hand it to the Pros?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, let's make sure you're sorted: Safety first, mate! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean and a pair of Safety Glasses to stop any brake dust or debris from getting in your eyes.

While you're at it, a can of Brake Cleaner is gold for blasting away brake dust and grime. And don't forget a dab of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts to stop them from seizing up next time. Trust me, future you will thank you for it!

Expert Advice
Worn pads are a no-go for safety and performance on your Toyota Celica GTi, Sprinter Trueno, or Corolla Levin. Chucking in some new RDA pads (like SKU RDB1352) will get your braking back to its best. CARFIX has a bunch of options from brands you know. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to lend a hand picking the right bits for your Toyota. Pop over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Make sure these pads are the right fit for your specific year and caliper type. Some models can be a bit different, so double-check before you start.

🧰 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.
