Land Cruiser Disc Brake Rotor Replacement — DBA Featured
> Those disc brake rotors on your trusty Land Cruiser? They're vital. Over time, especially with Kiwi off-road adventures and hauling the boat to the bach, they cop a hiding from your brake pads.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Sounds like a coffee grinder when you hit the brakes?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena?
• Taking longer to pull up than a mate at knock-off time?
• Rotors looking like they've been through a war zone?
• Brake pads wearing out unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a dead cert for a WOF failure. They need to be above minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, replacement brake pads (recommended).
