Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — TRW Style
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit in your braking system. They're what the brake pads grab onto, using friction to slow you down. Over time, especially in performance vehicles like the Porsche Macan and Audi A5, they can wear out, warp, or even crack, meaning your braking won't be up to scratch. Time for a look-see, eh?
What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing or grinding like crazy
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena (vibrating a lot)
• Taking forever and a day to stop
• Rotors looking worse for wear: cracks, grooves, rust
WOF Worries?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a classic WOF fail here in NZ. They've got to be above minimum thickness and crack-free to pass the test. No one wants to be gutted by a WOF failure.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 7/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, wheel brace, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (maybe)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands, yeah? Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean and Safety Glasses to avoid brake dust in the peepers. Now's the time to give those rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of any carbon dust. And don't forget a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the bolts to keep things sweet for next time.
Bob's Two Cents
Worn brake rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety. Get them sorted for proper braking, especially on demanding vehicles like the Porsche Macan and Audi A5. TRW is a solid choice, but CARFIX has options for every budget. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we'll sort you out with the right parts for your car. See you soon!
Important Notes
Always do rotors in pairs (both sides of the axle) for even braking. Double-check the new rotors fit your car and brake pads. Some cars need special tools to get the old rotors off.

🛠️ 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. GDB1765) 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.
