Description

Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring DBA

> Your Volkswagen or Skoda's disc brake rotors are dead important – they're where the brake pads do their work, clamping down to slow you down. Over time, rotors cop a beating from heat and friction, especially if you're often driving hard in tough conditions. They can warp, crack, or just plain wear out. Time for a change, eh?

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Brake pedal's got the shakes or a proper vibration
• Brakes are squealing like a gutted pig or grinding like crazy
• Taking way longer to pull up than usual
• Rotors look like they've been through a war – cracks or deep grooves
• Brake pads wearing unevenly

Will it pass WOF?
Worn rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They gotta be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a brake caliper tool.
