Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With a Little Help from TRW
> Your Renault Avantime or Espace relies on disc brake rotors to stop safely. They put up with a lot, and constant friction and heat eventually wear them down, making your braking less effective. This is especially true if you're always hitting the brakes in town or on those winding Kiwi roads.
Reckon It's Time for New Rotors? Here's What to Look For:
• Screeching or grinding when you brake – sounds like you're torturing metal, eh?
• The brake pedal's giving you the shakes or a pulsing feeling.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Rotors look rough – scoring, rust, or just plain beat up.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a quick way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They've got to be above a certain thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and new brake pads (good idea to replace them together).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're all set with the right bits and bobs to do the job properly. Safety first, mate!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any rust or brake dust in your peepers. Safety glasses are a no-brainer.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean and protected from brake fluid and grime. Heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves are the way to go.
• Brake Cleaner: This stuff's gold for blasting away brake dust and keeping everything clean as a whistle. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins ensures smooth movement and prevents those annoying squeaks.

🛠️ 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. GDB1330) 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.
