Description
Disc Brake Rotor Replacement — With RDA
> Disc brake rotors are super important for stopping safely. Over time, they wear down from the brake pads rubbing on 'em, especially on older cars like Fiats that might get driven hard or sit around a bit.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling a wobble or shake in the brake pedal.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Seeing grooves, cracks, or rust on the rotor.
• Brake pads wearing out unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a common reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. Rotors need to be thick enough and not cracked or too damaged to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those rotors, mate, safety first! Grab some safety glasses to keep the dust and debris out of your peepers. A good pair of nitrile gloves will keep your hands clean when dealing with brake dust. Give those new rotors a good spray with brake cleaner to get rid of any factory oils, and a little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots ensures everything moves smoothly. Never get under the car supported only by a jack, use proper stands!
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors mean your braking won't be up to scratch, and that's not safe. Swapping them out makes sure you can stop properly, which is extra important for those older Fiat models we see kicking about on the roads. RDA rotors are a good, solid choice, but CARFIX has a bunch of options to suit your budget. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to help you work out exactly what part you need for your classic Fiat. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
Make sure these rotors fit your specific Fiat model and year. Some models might have different sized rotors or setups. Always replace rotors in pairs to keep your braking balanced.

🧰 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.
