Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: The DBA Way (and Others!)
> Disc brake rotors: critical for keeping your Land Cruiser safe, especially if you're tackling tough conditions. They wear down, warp from heat, and corrode, especially after a bit of off-roading, leading to some pretty average braking.
Telltale Signs You've Found Yourself Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you hit the brakes.
• Feels like a washing machine under your foot when braking?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors looking a bit sad – scored, cracked, or rusty?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF check here in New Zealand. They need to be above minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under your Land Cruiser supported *only* by a jack. Use proper axle stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Brake Cleaner Brake Cleaner: Blast away that brake dust before you start pulling things apart. Keeps things clean and stops you breathing in the nasty stuff.
• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A smear of this on the caliper bolts will make your life so much easier next time you're in there.
• Nitrile Gloves Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake fluid and muck. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are cheap as chips, and will save you from flying debris and brake cleaner splashes.

• 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.
