Description

Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: The TRW Way
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important part of your braking system, working with the pads to bring your trusty Hyundai i10 or Kia Picanto to a halt. City driving, with all its stopping and starting, can really take a toll, leading to wear, warping, or even cracks.

Spotting the Signs of Wear
• Annoying squealing or a nasty grinding sound when you hit the brakes
• Feeling a vibration or pulsing through the brake pedal
• Your stopping distance seems to have increased
• You can see cracks or deep grooves on the rotor surface

WOF Woes?
Worn or dodgy disc brake rotors are a frequent cause of WOF failures here in NZ. To pass, your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks.

Difficulty: 6/10
Time needed: About 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear you'll need: Jack, axle stands, wheel brace, socket set, torque wrench, and some brake cleaner. You might also need a brake caliper tool.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack. Use proper axle stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Brake Cleaner Brake Cleaner: Blast away that nasty brake dust and grime. Keeps everything clean and helps you spot any leaks or damage.
• Caliper Grease: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents annoying squeals. Available at Bob's Shop.
• Nitrile Gloves Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake fluid and other nasty chemicals. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
• Safety Glasses: Protect your eyes from flying dust and debris. It's not worth risking your eyesight for a quick brake job.

Fitment Notes
Double-check that the new rotors are the same size and thickness as your old ones. Sometimes different models have different sized rotors. Always replace rotors in pairs, so the braking is even on both sides.
