Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Brake pads, eh? Key bit of kit in your braking setup. They turn your car's movement into heat when you hit the brakes. Over time, they wear down, meaning less stopping power, especially in family SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and the Auris Hybrid, where you're always on and off the pedal.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding noises when braking.
• Reduced braking responsiveness or longer stopping distances.
• The brake pad warning light is illuminated on the dashboard.
• Visible wear or damage to the brake pads during a visual inspection.
• Uneven wear on the brake pads, indicating potential caliper issues.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Check the Land Transport NZ guidelines for the nitty-gritty.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, safety first! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your peepers and some nitrile gloves – keeps the hands clean, eh? Now, you'll want some brake cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust. It's like a spa day for your brakes! And don't forget a bit of [anti-seize caliper grease] to keep things moving smoothly. Trust me, a little prep goes a long way to getting the job done right, the first time.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out brake pads regularly is a no-brainer for road safety. Dodgy pads mean longer stopping distances and can even bugger up your rotors, costing you more in the long run. RDA brake pads (RDC1932) are a top pick for your Toyota RAV4 or Auris Hybrid – reliable as. Bob @ CARFIX is your man to sort out the right part for your Toyota. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact Toyota model and year. Some models might have different pad needs depending on the trim or extras. Check those details before you start, especially on hybrids like the Auris Hybrid and Prius C. Bob's your uncle for all things Toyota.

🧰 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.
