Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads: they're what stops your Toyota Corolla, Prius, or Suzuki SX4 from becoming a lawn dart. They convert all that forward motion into heat when they squeeze against the rotors. Over time, this wears them down, especially if you're always hitting the brakes in city traffic. Time to get them sorted before your next WOF check!

Telltale Signs You Need New Pads
• Squealing like a pig or grinding noises when you brake. Not good, mate.
• Your car takes longer to stop, which is downright dangerous.
• That pesky brake pad warning light is glaring at you from the dash.
• You can see the pads are thinner than a cafe lunch menu.
• They're wearing unevenly – a sure sign of trouble.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a dead cert way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. They gotta be above the minimum thickness, or it's a no-go.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader tool.

🧰 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.
