Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — Starring RDA
> Brake pads are a consumable item, like your cafe lunch – they're designed to wear out. They create friction against the rotors to slow you down. Whether you're cruising in a Mitsubishi Pajero or zipping around in an ASX, good brakes are a no-brainer for safety. Let's get them sorted!
What Clued You In?
• Brakes sounding like a flock of seagulls or a metal band warming up.
• Taking longer to stop than a freight train.
• Feeling the shakes through the wheel or pedal when braking.
• A burning smell that's not your mate's cooking.
• Dashboard light screaming about worn pads.
WOF Worthy?
Nope. If your brake pads are thinner than a biscuit or wearing unevenly, you'll be gutted when your vehicle fails its WOF. Brakes are one of the most important things for a WOF.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A good weekend project)
Estimated Time: An afternoon per axle
Tools You'll Need: Jack, stands, lug wrench, a G-clamp or piston tool, spanners, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, and maybe some caliper grease.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands – your life's worth more than saving a few bucks.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Use Brake Cleaner to blast it away from the brake assembly before you start pulling things apart. This keeps your lungs happy and your tools clean.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and old brake fluid aren't exactly skin conditioners.
• Lube It Right: A little dab of caliper grease on the guide pins ensures everything moves smoothly and prevents annoying squeals. Don't go overboard, just a touch.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a must. Keep the brake dust and cleaner out of your eyes.

🧰 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.
