Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The TRW Way
> Disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes of your Nissan's braking. They take a hammering, especially if you're doing a lot of stop-start driving around town in your Primera or Maxima. Letting them get too worn or warped? That's just asking for trouble and dodgy braking.
Tell-tale Signs You've Found This Page
• Brakes sound like a choir of squealing pigs or a rusty gate?
• Brake pedal's doing the jitterbug?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks or major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Book It In?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor puller (if you're lucky)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers and nitrile gloves to keep the hands clean from brake dust.
• Cleanliness is Key: Before you even think about fitting the new rotors, give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner. Gets rid of all that nasty carbon dust.
• Protect Your Investment: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will make life easier next time around.
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors are a recipe for disaster. Replacing them keeps your Nissan stopping like it should and stops other brake bits from getting damaged. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn, and I'll sort you out with the right parts for your Nissan!
Fitment Notes
Make sure the new rotor is the right one for your Nissan. Some models have different sizes. Always do both rotors on the same axle to keep things even.

🛠️ 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. GDB3107) 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.
