Description

D.I.Y. Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Your brake pads are what stop your beast! They turn all that forward motion into heat when they clamp down on the rotors. But they don't last forever, especially if you're giving it heaps in a Holden Frontera or Mazda MPV.

Is Your Braking a Bit Dodgy?
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes?
• Brakes not as sharp as they used to be?
• Pedal feels soft and spongy?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch slice of ham?
• Does your car pull to one side when braking?

WOF Worries?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be above the minimum thickness to keep you safe on the roads.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skip on safety!), wrench and socket sets, C-clamp, brake cleaner, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, safety first, aye? Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers and some nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean from that nasty brake dust. Give those rotors a good blast with some brake cleaner to get rid of any gunk. And don't forget a dab of [anti-seize caliper grease] to keep things moving smoothly and prevent future squeals!

Expert Recommendation
Swapping out those brake pads is a no-brainer for keeping safe, especially in family wagons like the Mitsubishi Delica or Ford Econovan. RDA pads are a good balance of price and performance. But hey, we stock a whole range of options here at CARFIX.

Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact model, year, and brake setup. Some vehicles in the range might need different pads.

🧰 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.
