Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — With a Bit of Help From TRW
> Disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grip to slow you down in your Toyota RAV4 or Chery J11. Over time, they get worn, warped, or even cracked from all the heat and friction, especially if you're always in stop-start traffic. Time for a change, eh?
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hear a squeal or a grind when you hit the brakes?
• Feel a wobble or pulsing in the brake pedal?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• See scoring, cracks, or rust on the rotor itself?
WOF Woes?
Worn rotors are a quick way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and without any major damage to pass the test. Don't get caught out!

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, let's make sure you're all set. First up, safety! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Get yourself some decent Jack Stands. Grab some Safety Glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes, and a pair of Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean. Brake dust is nasty stuff, so give your rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you start, and have some Caliper Grease handy for reassembly. Sorted!

Fitment Notes
Double-check that the new rotors fit your Toyota RAV4 or Chery J11's year and model. Some have different rotor sizes. Always change rotors in pairs to keep your braking even and safe. No point in doing half a job, eh?

🛠️ 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. GDB1143) 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.
