Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — with TRW
> Disc brake rotors are dead important for stopping safely. They get a real hammering, especially in something zippy like a Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ, or even the trusty family wagon like the Subaru Legacy and Outback. As they wear, your braking turns to custard and that's not a place you want to be.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls?
• The steering wheel's doing the Macarena when you brake?
• Taking forever to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder?
• Brake pads are wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Yep, rotors are a common cause of WOF failures here in NZ. They need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: An hour or two per rotor
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates: Before you even think about touching a tool, chock those wheels and use proper axle stands. Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. It's just not worth the risk.
• Cleanliness is King: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away the muck before you start pulling things apart. Keeps the lungs happy, too.
• Hand Protection: Those rotors can be sharp and the brake dust clings like crazy. A decent pair of Nitrile Gloves will save your skin and make cleanup a breeze.
• Anti-Seize: A little dab of caliper grease on the caliper pins makes future servicing much easier. Prevents everything seizing up.
Expert Advice
Worn rotors mean dodgy braking, and that's a no-go. New rotors give you back that safe stopping power, whether you're giving your 86 a nudge or carting the kids around in the Outback. Pop into Bob's Shop to nut out exactly what you need!
Fitment Notes
Make sure the new rotor is the same size and type as the old one for your Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, Legacy, or Outback. Some models have different rotor sizes depending on the options.

🛠️ 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. GDB3328) 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.
