Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — TRW Style
> Your MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS (1999-2002)'s disc brake rotors are crucial for hauling you up safely. They cop a hammering from heat and friction, especially if you're always slamming on the brakes around town. If they're warped, cracked, or too thin, your braking goes right out the window. Time for a change, mate.
Tell-tale Signs You've Got Dodgy Rotors
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig or grinding like you're driving on gravel
• Brake pedal vibrating like crazy
• Taking forever to stop
• Rotors looking like they've been attacked by a grinder
WOF Woes?
Worn-out brake rotors are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in NZ. They've gotta be thick enough and without cracks to pass the test, so don't get caught out.

Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: About 1-2 hours per rotor
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never EVER get under your MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS (1999-2002) held up by only a jack. Always use proper stands. Safety glasses are a no-brainer to keep the brake dust out of your eyes.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast all that nasty carbon dust off the new rotors before you fit them. Keeps everything sweet. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner.
• Glove Up: Brake dust is filthy stuff. A good set of Nitrile Gloves will save your hands from looking like you've been down a coal mine.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize on the caliper slider pins keeps everything moving smoothly. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.

Crucial Fitment Notes
