Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — TRW Style
> Your Ford Falcon or Fairlane's disc brake rotors are dead important for stopping safely. They get a real hiding from friction and heat, especially if you give it a bit of stick in an XR6 or XR8. If they're warped or worn, your braking goes to custard.

What Clued You In?
• Your brake pedal's doing the shimmy – vibrating or pulsating.
• Braking sounds like a choir of squealing pigs or grinding metal.
• Feels like you're trying to stop the Interislander – longer stopping distances.
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder – scoring or damage.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly – dodgy!

WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in the land of the long white cloud. They've gotta be thick enough and free from cracks to pass the test, mate.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 1.5 - 2 hours per axle.
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (makes life easier).

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, let's make sure you're all set for a safe and tidy job. Brakes create a lot of fine carbon dust, so protect yourself and your workspace:
• Safety First: Chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep that brake dust out of your peepers.
• Glove Up: Grab a pair of Nitrile Gloves to keep your mitts clean and protected from brake cleaner.
• Cleanliness is Key: Have a can of Brake Cleaner handy to blast away brake dust and grime. Makes everything easier to work on.
• Stop the Squeal: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things quiet and prevent future headaches. Available at CARFIX.

Bob's Two Cents
Worn rotors mean your Falcon or Fairlane won't stop like it should. New ones give you back that safe, confident feeling. Pop into Bob's Shop. I'll sort you out with the right parts!

🛠️ 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. GDB7555) 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.
