Description

Slapping on New Disc Brake Rotors — with RDA
> Your Honda's disc brake rotors are what helps you pull up safely. Over time, they wear down thanks to your brake pads rubbing against them. This means you get less stopping power, weird noises, and that juddering feeling – especially if you're always driving around town in your Civic or Accord.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes sound like a startled pig?
• Your pedal's doing the jitterbug?
• Taking longer to stop than you'd like?
• Rotors look like they've been through a war?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Worries?
If your disc brake rotors are looking sad, chances are you'll fail your WOF. They need to be a certain thickness and not too beat up to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: An hour or two per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skip on safety!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under your car when it's held up *only* by a jack. Use proper stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Brake Cleaner: Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty carbon dust. Keeps everything clean as a whistle.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots keeps things moving smoothly. Don't overdo it!
• Hand Protection: Those dusty metal tracks can be rough on the mitts. A pair of Nitrile Gloves keeps your hands clean and safe.
• Eye Protection: Grab some safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris.

🧰 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.
