Description

Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With RDA
> Brake pads, eh? They're your car's last line of defence, turning speed into 'stopped' using good ol' friction. They wear down over time, no doubt about it, especially if you're a bit heavy on the foot. Time for a change to keep your HSV or Holden pulling up like it should.

Tell-tale Signs You're Due for a Change
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls having a barney?
• Pedal feeling a bit soft, aye?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Steering wheel doing the Macarena when you hit the brakes?
• Pads look thinner than a poorly made cafe lunch?

WOF Time Looming?
Dodgy brakes are a surefire way to fail your WOF in NZ. Those pads need to be up to scratch to keep you, your mates, and everyone else on the road safe.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 2-3 hours, plus smoko breaks.
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, spanners, sockets, brake cleaner, a G-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench (don't guess it!).

Expert Advice
Look, keeping your brake pads in good nick is a no-brainer for your HSV or Holden. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances, and nobody wants that, especially when you're giving it a nudge. RDA pads are a decent choice, but we've got a whole range to suit your budget and driving style.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about touching those brakes, safety first, eh?
• Safety Glasses: No one wants brake dust in their peepers. Grab some Safety Glasses to keep your vision clear.
• Nitrile Gloves: Brake dust and grease are minging. Keep your mitts clean with some Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that carbon dust and grime before you start fiddling. Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly.

Fitment Notes
Double-check those pads fit your specific HSV or Holden model and caliper type. Some models are a bit fussy. And remember, always do both sides at once for even braking.

🧰 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.
