Description

Mitsubishi Colt & Mirage Brake Pad Replacement Guide — RDA Edition

> Your Mitsubishi Colt or Mirage's brakes are like your jandals – you don't realise how important they are 'til they're buggered! Brake pads wear down over time, so keeping them in good nick is a no-brainer for safe driving, especially around town. This guide will help you get the job done right.

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Braking feels a bit 'soft' or slow
• Takes longer to stop than it used to
• The brake pedal's vibrating like crazy
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch serviette

Will it pass WOF?

Worn brake pads are a guaranteed WOF failure. They gotta be thick enough to do their job properly. Best to check them regularly – failing a WOF is never a good start to the day!

DIY or Workshop?

Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist

Before you get cracking, a little prep work goes a long way. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust – it's not good to breathe in. A can of Caliper Grease ensures everything moves smoothly. Don't forget your Safety Glasses (eyes are precious!) and a pair of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean.

🧰 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.
