Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring DBA
> Disc brake rotors? They're those metal discs that spin with your wheels, where the brake pads do their thing. Over time, they can wear down, warp, or get all grooved up, especially if you're always hitting the brakes hard in your Honda Civic or Jazz.

What Clued You In?
• Feeling a wobble through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you brake.
• Hearing squeals, grinds, or scrapes when you slow down.
• Taking longer to stop, or the brake pedal feels soft.
• Seeing scores, grooves, or funny colours on the rotor.

WOF Worthy?
Nah mate, shagged brake rotors won't pass a New Zealand WOF. They need to be a certain thickness and free of cracks or major scores to keep you safe on the road.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit of a mission)
Expected Time: An hour or two per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands, wheel wrench, brake caliper socket/spanner, C-clamp or brake piston tool, torque wrench, wire brush, brake cleaner, safety glasses, gloves.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about cracking those wheel nuts, let's yarn about doing this job safely and properly, eh?
• Safety First, Always: Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack! Use proper jack stands – your life's worth more than a cafe lunch. And chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes.
• Keep it Clean, Keep it Keen: Brakes generate a lot of dust, and you don't want to be breathing that in. A good blast with some Brake Cleaner will sort that right out. Plus, it helps you see what you're doing.
• Protect Yer Hands: Brake cleaner and old brake dust aren't exactly kind to your skin. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your mitts clean and protected.
• Grease is the Word: When you're putting everything back together, a little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent annoying squeals. Don't go overboard, though!

Fitment Notes
This DBA rotor (DBA4474S) fits a heap of Honda models, like the Civic, Jazz, CRX, Orthia, Partner, and City, from the early 90s right up to the modern hybrids. Always double-check the year, model, and engine size to make sure it's a match, as Honda liked to mix and match brake setups.

🧰 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.
