Kiwi Guide to Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — Featuring RDA
> Your brake pads are like the jandals of your car – wear them down, and you're gonna have a bad time. They're what stops your car by squeezing the rotors. Over time, they wear out, especially if you're always driving in tough conditions or have a heavy foot. If you're driving an Estima or Xantia, which are common as cafe lunch run-abouts, you'll need to keep an eye on them.

🧰 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.
