Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Keep Your Commercial Van Stopping True!
> Alright, let's talk rotors — these tough metal discs are what your brake pads squeeze to bring your commercial van to a halt. When you're constantly hauling gear and putting those brakes to work, especially on our challenging New Zealand roads, they naturally wear thin, warp, or get grooved. And trust us, you don't want to compromise on stopping power when you're loaded up!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Vibration or pulsing felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking.
• Squealing, grinding, or scraping noises when braking.
• Increased stopping distances, particularly noticeable when the van is loaded.
• Visible scoring, grooves, or discolouration on the rotor surface.
• A soft or spongy brake pedal feel.
Will it pass WOF?
No. Worn, warped, or damaged brake rotors will cause your vehicle to fail a WOF inspection. Effective braking is a critical safety requirement for all vehicles, especially commercial vans carrying goods or passengers.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours per axle (for experienced DIYers)
Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, wheel nut wrench, brake caliper compression tool, torque wrench, socket set, spanner set, wire brush, brake cleaner, safety glasses, gloves. Due to the critical safety nature of brakes and the weight of commercial vehicles, professional installation is highly recommended.

🛠️ 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 (SKU GDB1910) 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.
