Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — By Bob's Garage
> Your Suzuki Sierra or Holden Drover's disc brake rotors are absolutely crucial. Over time, they can wear down, warp from the heat, or get a nasty case of corrosion. This means your braking just isn't as sharp, especially when you're tackling tough conditions or giving them a real workout.
Signs It's Time for New Rotors
• Hear some terrible squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena (vibrating like crazy)?
• Taking way longer to stop than you used to?
• Rotors looking like they've been attacked by a grinder (scoring, cracks, rust)?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Worn or dodgy disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks or major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
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 (smart move!), rotor removal tool (if they're stuck fast).
