Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Disc brake rotors are vital for stopping your Mazda 3 or Nissan Lafesta. Daily driving grinds them down, meaning your braking might suffer, you might feel vibrations, and it could get dicey out on the road.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes
• That shaky feeling in the brake pedal
• Taking longer to stop than you used to
• Rust, scoring, or other damage you can see on the rotor
• Failing a WOF because the rotors are too thin
WOF Woes?
Worn brake rotors are a classic reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. They've got to be a certain thickness to keep you safe.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time needed: 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear you'll need: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rust spray (maybe), rotor puller (maybe)
