Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Style
> Those disc brake rotors are key to stopping your Nissan Navara or Pathfinder. They cop a hiding over time with all the friction and heat, especially if you're giving it a real workout.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes screaching or grinding like crazy?
• Feeling a judder in the brake pedal?
• Taking ages to pull up?
• Rotors looking worse for wear with scores or damage?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Worn brake rotors are a dead cert for failing a WOF here in NZ. They need to be spot-on with the manufacturer's thickness and no nasty cracks or deep scores to pass the test.

Difficulty: 6/10

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're sorted with the right gear and a bit of common sense. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any of that brake dust or grime in your eyes. Safety Glasses are cheap as chips.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those hands clean and protected from the brake dust. Trust me, you don't want that stuff soaking into your skin. Grab some Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: This stuff's gold for blasting away all the brake dust and gunk. Give everything a good spray down before you start pulling things apart. You can find Brake Cleaner here.
• Caliper Grease: Smear this behind the pads backing plate to stop/prevent brake squeal. And a little on the caliper pins will keep them sliding nicely in their bores.
Important Note: Never get under a car that's only supported by a jack! Always use proper stands. Now, let's get those brakes sorted!
