Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Your Ford Falcon or Fairlane's disc brake rotors are absolutely crucial. They cop a hammering from the brake pads every time you slow down, and over time, they wear down, especially with the weight of these classic sedans and the demands of daily driving. This wear means your braking won't be as sharp, which isn't ideal.

Spotting Trouble: Is It Time for New Rotors?
• Hear a squealing or grinding noise when you hit the brakes?
• Feel a shudder or pulsing through the brake pedal?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• See grooves, scoring, or other damage on the rotor surface?
• Noticed your brake pads are wearing unevenly?

Will it pass WOF?
Worn or damaged disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF inspection here in NZ. Rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, replacement brake pads (highly recommended).

🧰 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.
