Description

Brake Pad Replacement: Keep Your Falcon Gripping the Tarmac!
> Your brake pads are like the unsung heroes of your Falcon, working tirelessly to rein in all that horsepower. For beasts like the Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo and FPV Falcon GT, these pads are under immense pressure and heat, so keeping an eye on their wear isn't just smart, it's essential for keeping you safe and sound on our Kiwi roads.
Is Your Falcon Trying to Tell You Something?
• Hear any squealing, grinding, or metallic protests when you hit the brakes?
• Does your brake pedal feel a bit 'mushy' or is your stopping power not what it used to be?
• Feeling a judder or shake through the steering wheel or brake pedal when you slow down?
• Finding yourself needing more road than usual to come to a complete stop?
• Is that pesky brake warning light glaring at you from the dash?
WOF Woes? Don't Get Caught Out!
Nope, a worn set of brake pads is a surefire way to fail your Warrant of Fitness. In Aotearoa, your brake pad friction material needs to be at least 1.5mm thick. Anything less, and you're looking at an unsafe ride and a re-test.
Tackle it Yourself or Pop into the Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit of a mission, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: About 1-2 hours per axle – perfect for a Saturday morning project!
Tools Required: Jack, sturdy jack stands (safety first!), wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston compressor, brake cleaner, a trusty torque wrench, and your standard socket/spanner set.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive under the bonnet, Bob’s got a few essential bits and bobs to make sure your brake pad swap goes smoothly and safely:
• Safety Specs: Don't muck around with your eyes! Grab some safety glasses to protect against dust and debris.
• Heavy-Duty Gloves: Keep those hands clean and protected from grime and brake dust with some tough nitrile gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: A must-have for blasting away brake dust and ensuring a squeaky-clean surface for your new pads. Grab a can of brake cleaner.
• Anti-Seize Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins will keep things moving freely and prevent future headaches.
• Proper Jack Stands: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack! Always use sturdy jack stands for your safety.
Bob's Top Tip
Bob here at CARFIX always reckons you should sort out those brake pads the moment they show any sign of wear.

🛠️ 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.
