Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — TRW Edition
> Time to get those brakes sorted on your Toyota Wish or Sienta? Rotors wear out, warp from heat, or get rusty – not ideal for stopping, especially with precious cargo on board. Let's get them replaced!
What Clued You In?
• Brakes screamin' like a banshee?
• Feelin' a wobble in the pedal when you brake?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors lookin' rough – scored, rusty, or plain rooted?
• Brake pads wearin' unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a classic WOF fail. They need to be thick enough and in good nick to pass the test.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Chur: Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth more than a rotor change!
• Keep it Clean, Mate: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you start pulling things apart.
• Protect Your Hands: Those rotors can be sharp and the brake dust clings, so grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean and safe.
• Grease is Your Friend: Use a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the bolts to make life easier next time you're in there.
Bob's Two Cents
Worn rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety, especially with the family in the car. Pop into Bob's Shop at CARFIX, and let's get your Toyota sorted. I'm always here to help you work out exactly what part you need. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
Double-check that the new rotor is the same size as the old one – diameter, thickness, bolt pattern. Some Wish and Sienta models have different sizes depending on the year.

🛠️ 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. GDB7677YO) 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.
