Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — With TRW
> Disc brake rotors are key to your Nissan Maxima or Primera's stopping power. Over time, they cop a beating from friction, heat, and all the crud on the road. This can make your brakes less effective and even dangerous, especially if you're always hitting the anchors in city traffic.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you brake?
• Feel a wobble or pulsing in the pedal?
• Taking longer to pull up?
• Rotors look scored, rusty, or cracked?
• Tyre wear is uneven?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or rooted brake rotors are a quick fail at WOF time here in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, penetrating oil.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, here's a few must-haves to make this job a piece of cake and keep you safe:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth it.
• Keep it Clean: Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust. It's not just messy; it's not good for you to breathe in.
• Glove Up: Protect your mitts with some Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and old brake parts can be rough on the skin.
• Anti-Seize is Your Friend: A little dab of anti-seize compound on the caliper bolts will make your life much easier next time you're in there.
Expert Recommendation
Dodgy brake rotors mean dodgy stopping, putting you and your Nissan Maxima or Primera at risk. Swapping them out keeps you safe and stops other brake bits from wearing out too fast. These TRW rotors (DF7028S) are a mint choice to get your braking back to its best. Bob's always keen to yarn about what you need - pop into Bob's Shop and say g'day!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these fit your specific Nissan Maxima, Primera, or Cefiro year and model. Make sure the rotor size and thickness are spot-on before you get started. Some models might use different sizes.

🛠️ 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. GDB3181) 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.
