Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Your Honda's disc brake rotors are prime for stopping power. Over time, they cop a beating – wear and tear, heat warping, and rust, especially on your daily-driver Civic or cool-cruising Prelude. It's just part of tough Kiwi roads.
Warning Signs You've Hit This Page
• Brakes sound like a pack of seagulls fighting over a chip? Squealing or grinding ain't good.
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena? Vibration or pulsation means trouble.
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors look like they've been through a war? Scratches, cracks, or rust are dead giveaways.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a no-go for your WOF. They need to be within thickness limits and free of major damage to pass the test. Don't get caught out!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (safety first!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and new brake pads (while you're at it).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get stuck in, mate, a few things to keep in mind for a tidy and safe job:
• Safety Glasses: Protect your peepers from flying dust and debris. You only get one set!
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and away from brake dust. Trust me, you don't want that stuff on your skin. Grab some Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that brake dust and grime. Makes the job easier and keeps everything clean. A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease ensures smooth movement and prevents any annoying squeals. Don't skip this step!

And remember, never get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper stands – your life's worth it.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors are a safety risk for your Civic or Prelude. New ones mean better braking and less stress on other parts. Bob @ CARFIX is here to sort you out with the right parts for your Honda. Head over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the rotor size for your specific Honda Civic or Prelude. Some models have different designs and may need special tools.

🧰 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.
