Brake Pads: Your Ride's Best Mate for Stopping Power — Bob's Pick: RDA
> Right then, let's talk brake pads! These little legends are the unsung heroes of your vehicle's stopping system, working hard to clamp down and bring you to a halt. Especially for grunty machines like your Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Holden Monaro, those pads are under immense pressure, getting sizzling hot when you're on the move. Over time, that means they'll wear down, making your braking a bit dodgy, especially if you're giving it a bit of stick or towing the boat up north.
How Do You Know It's Time for a Change, Eh?
• Hearing a bit of a squeal or grind when you hit the anchors?
• Notice it's taking a bit longer to pull up? Not ideal!
• Feeling a funny vibration through the brake pedal?
• Pedal feeling a bit spongy, like a tired old couch?
• Had a peek and seen the pad material is looking a bit thin (less than 3mm, mate, that's not much)?
• Got that pesky dashboard warning light flashing at ya?
Will This Pass the WOF?
Nah, no way, Jose! Worn brake pads are a big no-no and a major safety risk. If your pads are looking a bit sad, your vehicle will absolutely fail its NZ Warrant of Fitness (WOF) check. The WOF folks need to see plenty of friction material there to ensure you can stop safely and properly.

Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, let's make sure you've got all the bits and bobs to do the job properly and keep you safe:
• Safety Glasses: Essential! Don't let brake dust or grime get in your peepers. Grab a pair of Safety Glasses from the shop.

• Brake Cleaner Spray: To blast away all that carbon dust and crud for a clean finish. Find our range of Brake Cleaner here.

• Rags/Shop Towels: For mopping up any spills and keeping things tidy. Grab a pack of Shop Towels.
Bob's Expert Word
Bob here at CARFIX always reckons you should swap out those brake pads at the very first sign they're looking a bit tired or not performing as they should.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
🧰 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.
