Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: The DBA Way
> Disc brake rotors are dead important for stopping your Mitsubishi Diamante or Magna. They're the surface the brake pads grip to slow you down. Over time, they can wear, warp, or crack from heat and stress, especially in bigger cars.
Spotting Trouble: What Brought You Here?
• Brake pedal feels like it's pulsing or vibrating
• Brakes are squealing or grinding like crazy
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights
• Can see cracks or deep grooves on the rotor
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a quick way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They need to be thick enough and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands (never skip these!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, and brake cleaner. You might also need a brake caliper tool.

• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A wee dab of this on the caliper bolts will make life easier next time you're in there. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
Bob's Two Cents
Worn rotors mean your Mitsubishi Diamante or Magna won't stop as well as it should. Replacing them keeps you safe and stops other brake parts from getting damaged. Head down to Bob's Shop, and we'll sort you out with the right parts for your Mitsubishi!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these fit your specific Mitsubishi Diamante or Magna model and year. Some models have different rotor sizes. Always replace rotors in pairs so the braking is even on both sides.

🧰 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: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
