Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With RDA
> Your brake pads are the unsung heroes, clamping down on the rotors to kill your speed. But they don't last forever! Over time, they wear thin, especially with the stop-start driving Kiwis often do. Keep an ear out for those tell-tale signs, especially if you're piloting a workhorse like the SsangYong Rhino, a nippy Hyundai Accent, or a trusty Kia Rio.

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you hit the brakes.
• Braking feels soft, like stepping on a sponge.
• The steering wheel's doing the Hokey Pokey when you brake.
• Taking longer than a cafe lunch to stop.
• Dashboard light's on, telling you something's up.

Will it pass WOF?
Nope. Dodgy brakes are a guaranteed WOF fail here in NZ. If your pads are too thin or worn unevenly, you'll be walking home. Get them sorted!

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A Bit Tricky)
Time Needed: An afternoon on the driveway
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, wheel brace, G-clamp or piston tool, socket set, torque wrench, and some brake cleaner.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get stuck in, mate, safety first! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands – it's a no-brainer. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean from brake dust, and slap on some Safety Glasses to keep the muck out of your eyes. While you're at it, give those rotors a good blast with some Brake Cleaner to get rid of any carbon build-up. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts when you put it all back together – it'll save you a headache next time.

Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons you should never skimp on brakes! If you're hearing noises or feeling vibrations, get those pads checked pronto.

🧰 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.
