Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Edition
> Your Mitsubishi L200 or Challenger relies on disc brake rotors to do the hard yards of slowing you down. If you're giving your ute or SUV a hammering, towing, or just clocking up the Ks, these rotors can get worn, warped, or even cracked. Time for a change, eh?
Uh Oh... Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms:
• Brake pedal feels like it's vibrating or pulsing
• Annoying squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Taking longer to stop than usual
• Rotors look like they've been through the wars (cracks, deep grooves)
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
Will it pass WOF?
Don't even think about it! Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick 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, replacement brake pads (recommended), rotor retaining screws (if applicable).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're sorted:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack. Use proper axle stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Brake Cleaner Brake Cleaner: Get yourself a can of brake cleaner. Give those new rotors a good blast to get rid of any factory grease. Keeps things sweet from the get-go.
• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A little dab of this stuff on the caliper bolts will save you a heap of grief next time you're in there. Trust Bob on this one.
• Nitrile Gloves Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean! Brake dust is nasty stuff. A decent pair of nitrile gloves will keep you from scrubbing for days.
• Safety Glasses: Protect your peepers from flying dust and debris. You'll thank Bob later.
