Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — The RDA Way
> Brake pads are like the jandals of your car – they wear out over time, especially if you're doing a lot of stop-start driving in your Nissan Serena e-Power or a Nissan Leaf Electric. Letting them wear too thin is asking for trouble, and can even damage your rotors. Keep on top of those brake pads for safe motoring – it's a no-brainer!
Narked About These Symptoms?
• Squealing like a pig when you brake?
• Brakes feel a bit spongy?
• Taking longer to stop than you reckon?
• Steering wheel doing the Macarena when you hit the brakes?
• That pesky brake pad warning light glaring at you?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They need to have enough meat on them to pull you up safely. Have a squiz at the Land Transport NZ guidelines for the nitty-gritty.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, wrench set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you start yanking those old pads out, remember safety first! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper stands. Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes, and a pair of nitrile gloves will save your hands from getting covered in brake dust. Speaking of brake dust, a can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate for blasting away all that carbon filth, and a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots helps keep things smooth for next time.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake pads regularly is key to keeping your braking sharp. Worn pads not only make stopping harder but can also chew out your rotors, costing you more dollar in the long run. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to point you to exactly what you need for your vehicle. Pop over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these brake pads fit your exact model and year, especially if you've got a hybrid or electric whip like the Nissan Serena e-Power or Nissan Leaf Electric. Some models can have different brake setups depending on the trim level or optional extras.

🧰 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.
