Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Starring TRW

> Brake rotors are a crucial part of your car's whoa-down system. They wear out over time thanks to friction and heat, especially in city runabouts like the Mazda 2 and Ford Fiesta that spend their lives stop-starting around town.

What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing or grinding like a rusty gate?
• Feeling a judder in the pedal when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to stop than you reckon you should?
• Rotors looking scored, cracked, or just plain rusty?

WOF Worthy?

Dodgy rotors are a surefire WOF fail. They need to be above the minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test.

Difficulty: 6/10

Time Needed: An hour or two per rotor

Gear You'll Need: Jack, axle stands (never skip these!), wheel brace, socket set, spanners, brake cleaner, torque wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist

Before you even think about cracking those wheel nuts, let's talk safety and keeping things tidy. Brakes create a LOT of nasty dust that you don't want to breathe in or get on your skin. Plus, a clean brake is a happy brake!
• Safety First, Mates!: Eye protection is a no-brainer. Grab some Safety Glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers. And never, EVER get under a car supported only by a jack – axle stands are your best mate here.
• Glove Up!: Keep your hands clean and protected with some Nitrile Gloves. Brake dust is a pain to get off, and you don't want that gunk soaking into your skin.
• Brake Cleaner is Your Best Mate: Blast away all that built-up brake dust and grime with a good quality Brake Cleaner. Makes the job easier and helps you spot any problems.
• Anti-Seize is Key: A tiny smear of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts will make your life SO much easier next time you need to pull things apart. Prevents them from seizing up solid.

Bob's Two Cents

Worn rotors are a safety risk, plain and simple. Replacing them on your Mazda 2 or Ford Fiesta means you'll stop properly when you need to. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn – I'll help you find the perfect fit for your vehicle!

Fitment Notes

Double-check the new rotor matches your old one *exactly*. Diameter, thickness, bolt pattern – get it all right, especially with the different Mazda 2 and Ford Fiesta models over the years.

🧰 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.
