Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With RDA's
> Brake pads are one of those wear-and-tear bits in your car's braking system. They work by clamping onto the rotors to slow you down. Over time, they wear down, especially with the stop-start driving Kiwi families often do.
What Gave It Away?
• Brakes squealing like a pig or grinding something fierce.
• Taking way too long to stop.
• Feeling a judder through the pedal.
• Pedal feels soft as.
• Pads look skinny (less than 3mm of meat left).
WOF Worthy?
Nah, mate. Dodgy brakes are a big no-no and will fail a WOF quick smart. You need decent pads to pull up safely.
DIY or Get a Pro?
How Hard? 6/10
Time Needed: An hour or two per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, wheel brace, G-clamp or caliper tool, socket set, torque wrench, and some brake cleaner. A wire brush might be handy too.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth more than saving a few bucks.
• Blast that Brake Dust: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give your calipers and rotors a good spray with Brake Cleaner to get rid of it before you start yanking things apart. Protect ya lungs!
• Keep it Clean: Use Nitrile Gloves to keep the brake dust and grease off your hands. Makes clean-up way easier, aye?
• Grease is the Word: A smear of caliper grease on the right spots (check a guide!) helps everything move smoothly and prevents squeals. Don't go overboard though!

🧰 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.
