Toyota Camry & Aurion Brake Pad Replacement: The Kiwi DIY Guide
> Your brake pads are what stop your Toyota Camry, Aurion, or Avalon, turning all that forward motion into heat. They wear down over time, and that means less stopping power – not ideal, especially when you're carting the kids around or cruising the open road. Swapping them out regularly keeps you safe. A no-brainer, really.

• Brakes feeling a bit soft and not biting like they used to?
• Taking longer to stop than you're comfortable with?
• Feeling a wobble or judder through the pedal?
• Visually, can you see the pad material is getting thin?

🧰 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.

• 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.
