Description

Slapping on New Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Style
> Disc brake rotors are absolutely crucial for your Falcon's stopping power. They take a real beating from friction and heat, especially if you drive it hard or do a lot of stop-start driving. If your rotors are warped or knackered, your braking won't be up to scratch, and that's a safety risk, no doubt about it.

Uh Oh, Is That The Brakes?
• Brake pedal feels like it's got a pulse? Vibrating like crazy?
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights than you'd like?
• Rotors look like they've seen better days? Scratched or gouged?

Will it pass WOF?
Worn-out brake rotors are a classic reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. They need to be above a certain thickness and in decent nick to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: An hour or two per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, wheel brace, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and new brake pads (good idea to do them together).

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean, because brake dust is nasty stuff. And don't forget your Safety Glasses - you only get one set of eyes, so protect them.

While you're at it, a can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate for blasting away all that carbon dust, and a smear of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly. A clean workspace is a happy workspace, so lay down some cardboard to catch any spills.

Expert Recommendation
Bob at CARFIX reckons you should always replace brake rotors in pairs. That way, your braking is even as, and you won't get any weird pulling. Keep an eye on those rotors and replace them when they're due – it's a no-brainer for keeping you safe on the road. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Double-check you've got the right rotor size for your Falcon's year and model. FPV models might have their own special rotors, so watch out for that.

🧰 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.
