Description

Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Sorted with TRW
> Disc brake rotors are a critical part of your Alfa Romeo's braking system. Over time, they wear out from all the friction and heat, especially with those tough city stops or when you're giving it a good nudge on the open road. If you own a Giulia or 159, you know what I mean!

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling a wobble or pulse through the brake pedal.
• Taking longer to pull up.
• Seeing grooves or damage on the rotor itself.
• Pads wearing unevenly – never a good sign.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake rotors are a quick way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. 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, wrench set, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper piston compression tool.

Fitment Notes
Double-check that these rotors fit your specific Alfa Romeo model and year. Some might have different sizes or need special bits and pieces. Always replace rotors in pairs (both sides) for even braking.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Spider, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (Part No. GDB1363) 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.
