Disc Brake Rotor Replacement — Bob's "No Worries" Guide
> Right, let's talk about those disc brake rotors. They're the hardworking metal discs your brake pads squeeze to bring your vehicle to a halt. Over time, all that heat and friction can thin them out, warp 'em, or carve some nasty grooves, which means your braking power takes a hit. This is especially true for our older Mitsis, like the trusty Galant and Magna, that have seen a bit of life and varying road conditions.
Sounds familiar, eh?
• Feeling a judder or pulsation through your brake pedal or steering wheel when you hit the anchors.
• Squealing, grinding, or that dreaded scraping sound when you brake.
• Taking a bit longer to pull up than usual.
• Seeing obvious scoring, grooves, or discolouration on the rotor surface.
• Your brake pedal feels a bit soft or spongy.
WOF Check — Will it pass?
Nah, mate. If your brake rotors are seriously worn, warped, or damaged, your vehicle won't be passing its Warrant of Fitness (WOF). Good, reliable braking is absolutely non-negotiable for safety here in Aotearoa.
DIY or Call a Mate?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit of a mission, but totally doable)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle (Factor in a cafe lunch break!)
Tools Required: Jack, proper jack stands (safety first!), lug wrench, brake caliper compression tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, and a trusty impact wrench if you've got one handy.

🛠️ 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.
