Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — TRW Style
> Disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grab onto, slowing you down. Over time, they wear out, especially if you're giving it heaps in an AC Cobra or just doing the daily grind in your Ford Mondeo. Worn rotors mean dodgy braking and that's a no-no.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig?
• Feeling a judder when you hit the brakes?
• Rotors looking rough as guts with rust or cracks?
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: An hour or two per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car only supported by a jack!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, and some brake cleaner. You might need a brake caliper tool too.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Chuck on some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers. And grab some nitrile gloves – brake cleaner and general grime are terrible on the skin.
• Brake Dust Be Gone!: Give those new rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you fit them. Gets rid of any manufacturing oils or gunk.
• Stopping Squeals: A wee smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins and pad contact points will keep things quiet and smooth.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing those worn rotors is a no-brainer for safe driving. TRW rotors are a solid choice, but CARFIX has options for every budget. Pop into Bob's Shop – I'll make sure you get the right rotors for your Ford or Cobra!
Fitment Notes
Make sure those new rotors are the right fit for your vehicle. Check the diameter and thickness match the originals. Front and rear rotors are often different, so double-check!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (Part No. GDB1107) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 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.
