Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — TRW Style
> Disc brake rotors? Yeah, they're kinda important for stoppin' your Ford Falcon or Territory. They take a hidin' from friction and heat, so they wear down. That means less stopping power, especially if you drive it hard or do a lot of towing. Sort your brakes, sort your life!
Dead Giveaways It's Rotor Time
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls having a barney?
• Feel a judder in the pedal when you hit the anchors?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder?
• Pads wearing unevenly? That's a worry, mate.
WOF Woes?
Worn or rooted disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They gotta be above the minimum thickness and not look like a rusty shipwreck to pass the test.
DIY or Hand it to a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skimp on safety!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner (essential!), maybe a rotor removal tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands. Your life's worth more than a cafe lunch.
• Brake Cleaner is Your Friend: Blast away that brake dust before you even think about touching anything. Keeps the muck out of your lungs and off your tools. Brake Cleaner
• Glove Up!: Keep your mitts clean and protected with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Brake dust is nasty stuff.
• Copper Anti-Seize: A light smear of anti-seize on the hub will make rotor removal a breeze next time. Prevents rust and binding. Plus, it's satisfying.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a no-brainer when dealing with brakes. Flying rust and debris are not your eyes' friends. Grab some Safety Glasses before you start.
