Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Your HSV's disc brake rotors are vital. They team up with the brake pads to bring you to a halt. Over time, especially with how we drive our HSVs, they can wear out or even crack.
Tell-tale Signs It's Rotor Time
• That brake pedal's got a pulse or shakin' about
• Brakes are makin' a racket — squeals or grinds
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like
• Rotors look like they've seen better days — cracks and grooves
• Pads are wearin' uneven
WOF Worries?
Dodgy rotors are a quick way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and free of major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, fresh brake pads (good idea while you're at it).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, mate, safety first! Grab some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers and some nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. While you're at it, give everything a good blast with some brake cleaner to get rid of that stubborn carbon dust. And don't forget a touch of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts to keep them moving freely for next time.
Bob's Two Cents
Worn rotors? That's a no-go for your HSV's safety. Get 'em sorted, and get back that stopping power. That RDA rotor (RDA55) is a solid bet, but CARFIX has options for every budget. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn, and we'll get you sorted with the right parts!
Fitment Tip
Double-check this rotor fits your exact HSV model and year. Rotors need to be swapped in pairs (both sides) for even braking.

🧰 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.
