Description

Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — By Bob's Garage
> Disc brake rotors on your old Peugeot are super important. They wear down, warp in the heat, and corrode over time, especially on older cars like the 505 and 604. This hits your braking and your safety hard.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Brakes are squealing or grinding like crazy.
• Brake pedal's vibrating, feels like it's got a pulse.
• Taking way longer to stop than it used to.
• Rotors look scored, rusty, or just plain beat up.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. They've gotta be above minimum thickness and not 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, replacement brake pads (recommended).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you start yanking those old rotors off your Peugeot, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always! Grab some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes while you're wrestling with those brakes. And don't forget a pair of nitrile gloves – brake dust is nasty stuff, you don't want that soaking into your skin. Blast everything down with plenty of brake cleaner to get rid of any carbon buildup. Finally, when you're reassembling the calipers, a little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the slider pins will keep everything moving nice and smooth. No one wants a sticky caliper.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your Peugeot's rotors is a no-brainer for keeping your brakes in top nick. The RDA rotor is a good choice, but CARFIX has a bunch of options to match your budget. Bob's always here to help you find the right part for your Peugeot so head over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check it fits your Peugeot 505 or 604's year and model. Check the rotor size before you get started. Always put in new brake pads when you swap rotors – it's the best way to make sure your braking is spot on.

🧰 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.
