Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads are a real critical part; they turn your car's movement into heat when you hit the brakes. Over time, they wear down, especially if you're always driving around town in your Honda Civic or carting the family around in the Chrysler Voyager. Time for a change, bro!

Uh Oh, Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms?
• Brakes are making a racket – squealing or grinding noises.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Brake pedal feels a bit soft or spongy.
• You can see the pads are looking pretty worn out.
• The brake pad warning light's lit up on the dash.

Keen for that WOF, Mate?
Dodgy brake pads are a quick way to fail your WOF here in NZ. Your pads need to be thick enough to stop safely. Have a squiz at the Land Transport NZ guidelines for the specifics.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time needed: 2-4 hours (depending on how good you are with the tools)
What you'll need: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.

Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're all set. Safety first, always! And a tidy job is a good job, eh?
• Safety Glasses: No one wants brake dust in their eyes. Grab a pair of safety glasses from here.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean and protected from brake fluid with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty brake dust and grime. Makes the job easier and safer. Get some Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little bit of anti-seize caliper grease will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent those annoying squeals. You can find it at Bob's Shop.

🧰 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.
