Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — TRW Edition
> Your Toyota Land Cruiser or Prado relies on disc brake rotors to pull you up safely. These discs take a hammering from friction and heat, especially if you're hitting the trails hard or doing lots of stop-start driving around town. When they wear down, your braking suffers.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Grinding or squealing when you hit the brakes.
• Brake pedal feels like it's vibrating or pulsing.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Rotors look scored, rusty, or generally buggered.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn-out disc brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Your rotors 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, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, replacement brake pads (recommended).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, a few things to keep in mind for a top-notch job:
• Safety First, Eh? Never, ever get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth it!
• Cleanliness is Next to...Well, You Know: Grab a can of Brake Cleaner. Give those rotors and calipers a good blast to get rid of all that nasty brake dust and grime. Keeps everything working sweet.
• Glove Up, Buttercup: Protect those mitts with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Brake dust is minging stuff.
• Lube It Up: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving freely and prevent future headaches.
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors mean your Land Cruiser or Prado won't stop as well as it should, especially when you're towing or tackling rough terrain. Swapping them out keeps your braking sharp and stops other parts from getting damaged. Give Bob @ CARFIX a shout – he'll sort you out with the right parts for your Land Cruiser or Prado.

Fitment Notes
Double-check these rotors fit your exact Land Cruiser or Prado model and year. Some models have different sized rotors or need special tools. Always replace rotors in pairs for even braking.
Bob's Tip: Make sure you consult your vehicle manual for specific torque settings during installation.
