Description
Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring DBA
> Your FPV Falcon GT or Ford Tickford TL50 relies on disc brake rotors to do the hard yards of slowing you down. Rotors cop a hiding, and over time they wear, warp, or even crack, especially if you drive it like you stole it. It's a no-brainer to get them sorted when they're past their best.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Brake pedal feels like it's pulsing or vibrating
• Brakes are squealing like a gutted pig or grinding
• Taking longer to stop than you're used to
• Rotors look like they've been through the wars (cracks or deep grooves)
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF in New Zealand. They need to be above minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, here's a quick rundown to make sure you're set up for success:
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack. Use proper jack stands. Your life's worth more than a cafe lunch.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away the grime before you start pulling things apart. Plus, it helps you spot any leaks.
• Hand Protection: Those brake components can be rough on the mitts. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Anti-Seize is Your Friend: A smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will make your life easier next time you're in there.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a must. Flying debris is no fun when it hits your eyes.

🧰 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.
