Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Your brake pads are what stop your car, so keeping them in good nick is a no-brainer. Over time, they wear down like anything else, and that means less stopping power and maybe even damage to your rotors. Especially in motors like Ford Falcons and Toyota Mark X's, you need good brakes for everyday driving.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Your car's not pulling up like it used to.
• The brake pad warning light's on.

• The brake pedal's vibrating.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Your pads need enough thickness to pull you up safely. Check the Land Transport NZ guidelines for the exact rules.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, a quick yarn about safety and making sure you've got everything you need. First up, never get under a car that's only held up by a jack! Use proper stands, or you'll be gutted if things go south. Grab yourself some Nitrile Gloves – brake dust is minging, and you don't want it all over your mitts. And safety glasses? No-brainer when you're bashing around with metal. Now, for the job itself, you'll want some Brake Cleaner to blast all that carbon dust away. A bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things smooth, too.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing your brake pads is key to staying safe on the road. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances and could lead to a prang. RDA brake pads are a solid choice, and CARFIX has a bunch of options to fit your budget. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to point you toward the right part for your Ford or Toyota. Swing by Bob's Shop for a chinwag!
Fitment Notes
Make sure these pads fit your exact model and year. Some models have different brake setups depending on the trim. Double-check the part number and size before you start, especially for the different Ford Falcon and Toyota Mark X models.

🧰 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.
