Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Your disc brake rotors are prime players in your braking setup. They're the surface your brake pads clamp onto to bring you to a halt. Over time, especially in older rigs like Ford Cortinas and Escorts that see both town and open road, these rotors can wear, warp, or even crack.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes screamin' or grindin' like a coffee grinder with rocks in it.
• Steppin' on the brake feels like ridin' a buckin' bronco.
• Takin' forever and a day to pull up.
• Rotors lookin' like they've been through a war – scored, cracked, or rusty as.
Will It Pass That Pesky WOF?
Worn-out brake rotors are a classic reason for a WOF fail here in NZ. Your rotors need to be up to scratch on thickness and free from major damage to get the thumbs up.
DIY or Hand It Over?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and new brake pads (good to do 'em together).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates: Chuck on some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes, and grab a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your mitts clean. Brake dust isn't exactly a cafe lunch.
• Cleanliness is Key: Before you even think about slapping those new rotors on, give everything a good blast with some brake cleaner. Gets rid of all that nasty brake dust and grime.
• Don't Forget the Grease: A little bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will make your life a heck of a lot easier next time you're in there. Trust me on this one.
Bob's Expert Advice
Dodgy brake rotors mean dodgy stopping, and that's just not cricket. Swapping 'em out keeps you safe and sound and stops other brake bits from wearin' out too fast. RDA rotors are a fair dinkum choice, but CARFIX has a bunch of options to fit your wallet. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we can sort you out with the right bits for your Ford. Give Bob a yell, and he'll sort you out!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these rotors fit your exact Ford model and year, aye? Rotor sizes and setups can be different. Always swap 'em out as a pair to keep your braking even-stevens.

🧰 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.
