Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads are the unsung heroes that bring your Nissan Patrol or Safari to a halt. Over time, they take a real beating from heat and pressure, especially when you're hauling heavy loads or tackling tough conditions. Time to give 'em some love!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you hit the brakes.
• Taking longer to stop, feeling like you're driving on ice.
• The steering wheel or brake pedal's got the shakes.
• Pads are looking thinner than a cafe lunch menu.
• Pulling to one side when you brake.
Will it pass WOF?
No way, mate. Worn-out brake pads are a big no-no for a Warrant of Fitness (WOF). They need enough meat left on them to pass the test.
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, wire brush, and potentially a brake fluid bleeder kit.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away that nasty brake dust – it's not good to breathe in. A can of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly, and don't forget your safety glasses and nitrile gloves to keep your mitts clean.
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should swap out those brake pads the moment they start complaining or showing wear.

Come have a yarn with Bob @ CARFIX; he'll help you sort out exactly what you need for your Patrol or Safari. Head over to Bob's Shop for a good old chinwag!
Fitment Notes
These brake pads are made to fit various Nissan Patrol, Patrol GR, Safari, and Atlas models from '97 to 2016 and beyond, depending on the model. Double-check your vehicle's specs to make sure they're the right fit, especially with the Patrol/Safari having been around for donkey's years with plenty of variations.

🧰 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.
