Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring DBA
> Disc brake rotors are those metal discs doing the rounds with your wheels. When you hit the brakes, the pads squeeze them tight, using friction to bring your Mitsubishi Pajero or Montero to a halt. Crucial for keeping you safe on and off the beaten track in NZ, especially when you're loaded up or hitting those steep hills.
Signs It's Time for a Change
• Sounds like a coffee grinder when you brake?
• Steering wheel or brake pedal doing the shimmy?
• Taking longer to pull up than a cafe lunch queue?
• Rotors looking like they've seen better days — scored, grooved, or discoloured?
• Brake pedal feeling softer than a merino blanket?
WOF Worthy?
Nah mate, rotors that are past it won't pass a Warrant of Fitness. They need to be thick enough and free from cracks or warping to guarantee you can stop safely.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're all set for a safe and tidy job. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any of that brake dust or debris in your peepers. Grab a pair of Safety Glasses.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those hands clean and protected from brake fluid and grime. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves is a no-brainer.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that carbon dust and grime from the rotors and calipers. Makes the job cleaner and helps with inspection. Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A little dab on the caliper slide pins ensures everything moves smoothly and prevents future headaches. Trust me, future you will thank you.

🧰 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.
