Brake Pad Replacement for Ford F-Series — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads. Simple as they are, they're what stop your Ford F-250 or F-350 from becoming a runaway billycart. Hauling loads or towing the boat puts extra strain on them, so when they wear down, your braking goes to custard. Let's get them sorted.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you hit the brakes.
• Brake pedal feeling softer than a cafe lunch sponge.
• The whole truck shuddering when you try to stop.
• Taking longer to pull up than a politician's promise.
• That pesky dashboard light glaring at you.
Will it pass WOF?
No way, mate. Worn-out brake pads are a guaranteed WOF failure. You need decent stopping power to keep you, your passengers, and other road users safe. Don't risk it!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston compressor, wrench set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a wire brush.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, a bit of Kiwi common sense:
• Safety First, Eh? Never, ever get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth more than a new set of brake pads!
• Cleanliness is Next to...Well, You Know: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to keep the dust down.
• Protect Your Digits: Chuck on some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean and protected from all the muck.
• Don't Forget the Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future squeaks.
• Protect Your Eyes: Safety glasses are a no-brainer when working with brake components. Keep those peepers safe from flying debris.
Expert Recommendation
I reckon you should swap out those brake pads the moment you notice any of those warning signs. Letting them go too far can damage your rotors, and that's just more dosh out of your pocket. These RDA pads are a solid choice for the tough conditions our Ford F-Series trucks face, giving you good stopping power and long life. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn, and we'll sort you out with the right gear for your Ford F-Series. I'm here to help!
Fitment Notes
These brake pads are made to fit a range of Ford F-250 and F-350 models from 1972 to 1991. Double-check the year, make, and model of your truck against the specs to make sure they're the right fit. These heavy-duty trucks had a long run, and there can be variations.

🧰 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.
