Swapping Out Your Toyota's Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring TRW
> Your Land Cruiser or Prado's disc brake rotors are vital for stopping safely. They wear down over time from the brake pads rubbing against them, especially if you're giving it heaps off-road. If they're past their prime, get them sorted pronto.
Tell-tale Signs You Need New Rotors
• Sounds like a bag of spanners when you brake?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena?
• Taking forever and a day to stop?
• Rotors look like they've seen better days (scoring, rust, the works)?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be thick enough and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, here's a quick rundown to keep you safe and tidy:
• Safety First, Mate! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper jack stands. Safety glasses are a no-brainer to keep the rust and brake dust out of your peepers.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to protect your hands and a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away the muck.
• Don't Forget the Grease: A little anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will make your life easier next time you're in there.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors are a safety hazard, plain and simple. Replacing them keeps your braking sweet and prevents damage to other bits. Bob's always here to help you find the right bits for your Land Cruiser. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check this rotor fits your specific Land Cruiser or Prado year and model. Some models use different sizes or need special hardware.
