Description

Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — With TRW
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit in your Mazda 626 or Ford Telstar's braking setup. Over time, they slowly wear away from the friction with the pads, which means your braking won't be as sharp, and that can be a worry, especially in older cars.

Telltale Signs You Need New Rotors
• Horrible squealing or grinding sounds when you hit the brakes.
• The brake pedal pulses or vibrates when you use it.
• You're taking longer to stop than usual.
• You can see scoring, rust, or other damage on the rotor itself.
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn or damaged brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. Rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, penetrating oil, rotor removal tool (optional).

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about tackling those brake rotors, mate, safety first! We don't want any cafe lunch visits to the hospital. Here's what you need:
• Safety Glasses: Keep those peepers safe from flying dust and debris. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
• Heavy-Duty Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake dust and chemicals. Brake cleaner is rough on the skin, so don't skimp on quality gloves like these: Nitrile Gloves
• Brake Cleaner: This stuff is gold for blasting away brake dust and grime. Makes everything cleaner and easier to work with: Brake Cleaner
• Caliper Grease: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will keep them from seizing up next time you're in there. Copper grease is great for this too.

Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors are bad news for your Mazda 626 or Ford Telstar. Swapping them out keeps your braking in top condition and stops other parts of your brakes from getting damaged. The TRW rotor is a top-notch choice for getting your braking back to its best. Bob at CARFIX is always keen to help you find the exact part you need for your Mazda or Ford.

Fitment Notes
Make sure the new rotor is the same as the old one for your Mazda 626, Ford Telstar or Capella model and year. Double-check the rotor diameter and thickness.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Capella, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (Part No. GDB1025) 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.
