Description
Swapping Out Your Honda Legend's Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Style
> Your Honda Legend's disc brake rotors are proper important for stopping safely. They wear down over time from all that friction, which can make braking a bit dodgy, especially when you're dealing with everyday traffic.
Dodgy Rotor Symptoms
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls arguing? (Squealing or grinding).
• Steering wheel doing the Macarena when you brake?
• Taking longer than a cafe lunch to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors looking a bit worse for wear (scoring or damage)?
WOF Woes?
Worn rotors are a classic reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. They need to be above a minimum thickness and in decent nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skimp on safety!), socket set, spanners, brake caliper tool, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you crack into it, mate, safety first!
• Safety Glasses: Protect those peepers from flying brake dust and debris.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and away from brake fluid – nasty stuff! Grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that brake dust before you start dismantling things. Makes the job cleaner and easier. You can find Brake Cleaner here.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent future squeaks.

Fitment Notes
Make sure these rotors fit your specific Honda Legend (year 1985-1990, trim level). Double-check the rotor size and thickness match what you had before.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
🧰 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.
