Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Edition
> Your Honda Accord or Prelude's brake rotors are real workhorses. All that friction from stopping wears them down over time. Daily driving, especially with all those stop-start runs to the cafe for lunch, can really take its toll, leaving them warped or cracked. Time for a change, eh?
Narked Off With These Symptoms?
• Brakes squealing like a pig or grinding like dusty metal tracks?
• Brake pedal vibrating like crazy?
• Taking way too long to stop?
• Rotors looking scored, cracked, or rusty?
WOF Woes?
Worn brake rotors are a dead cert for failing your WOF here in NZ. Rotors need to be within thickness specs and crack-free to pass the test.

Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your eyes. Trust me, you don't want that.
• Keep it Clean: Brake cleaner is your best mate here. Blast away all that built-up carbon dust with a Brake Cleaner spray. Makes the job easier and keeps things tidy.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands from the grime with some Nitrile Gloves. Brake dust is a bugger to get off.
• Lube'em Up: A little anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will make your life easier next time you're in there. Trust me, future you will thank you.
