Description
Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Let's Get Those Brakes Sorted with TRW!
> Look, brake rotors are non-negotiable for keeping you and your whānau safe on the road. They're the workhorses that your brake pads squeeze against, and if they're worn thin, wobbly, or grooved, your stopping power goes out the window faster than a seagull nabbing a chip. Especially for everyday heroes like the Mitsubishi Airtrek and Lancer, which tackle everything from city commutes to open road adventures, keeping these babies in tip-top shape is just smart.
What's Your Car Telling You?
• Feeling a judder or shudder in the brake pedal or steering wheel when you hit the anchors?
• Hearing squeals, grinds, or nasty scrapes when you slow down?
• Taking longer than usual to come to a complete stop?
• Spotting deep scratches, grooves, or funny discolouration on the rotor surface?
• Is your brake pedal feeling a bit squishy, like a soggy biscuit?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate. If your brake rotors are looking a bit sad — severely worn, warped, or damaged — it's a straight-up fail for your New Zealand Warrant of Fitness. They've gotta meet minimum thickness specs and be free of any gnarly scoring, cracks, or hot spots to ensure you can stop when it really counts.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 — A bit of a weekend project, but totally doable if you're handy.
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle — Perfect for a Saturday arvo.
Tools Required: Jack, sturdy jack stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel nut wrench, brake caliper socket/spanner, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, torque wrench, wire brush, brake cleaner, safety glasses, and some good gloves.

• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: Keep those caliper pins moving freely.
• Safety Glasses: Protect your peepers from flying debris.
• Heavy-Duty Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from grease and grime.

Fitment Notes
This particular rotor is designed for the front axle of MITSUBISHI AIRTREK models from 2003-2006 and MITSUBISHI LANCER models from 2010 onwards. Always double-check the exact specs and dimensions against your vehicle's current rotors. Even within the same model, there can be little quirks, so best to be sure!

🛠️ 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 (SKU GDB3200) 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.
