Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: The CARFIX Guide
> Your Mitsubishi L200 or Pajero relies on disc brake rotors to do their job. They're the surface your brake pads grip to slow you down. Over time, they wear, warp, or even crack – especially if you're hitting those dusty metal tracks or hauling heavy loads.
Spotting the Signs
• Brake pedal feels like it's pulsing or vibrating when you hit the anchors.
• Squealing or grinding noises when you apply the brakes.
• Rotors looking a bit rough – scoring, cracks, or rust.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire WOF failure. They need to be above minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you crack into this job, make sure you're sorted with the right gear. Safety first – never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack! Use proper stands. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away that nasty brake dust (it's not good to breathe in). A can of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly. Don't forget your safety glasses and a pair of Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

🧰 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.
