Description

Giving Your Classic Holden Gemini the Stopping Power It Deserves — With RDA Rotors!
> Right then, let's talk rotors! These are the shiny metal discs that spin right along with your wheels. When you hit the stoppers, your brake pads clamp down hard on these, creating the friction needed to slow down and halt your beloved Holden Gemini. Over the years, all that heat and friction can thin them out, warp 'em, or carve grooves into 'em, which is a real no-no for your braking performance.
Is Your Gemini Telling You It Needs a Rotor Refresh?
• Feeling a judder or pulse through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you're braking?
• Hearing squeals, grinding, or a nasty scraping noise when you slow down?
• Notice it's taking a bit longer to pull up than it used to?
• Can you see scoring, deep grooves, or discolouration on the rotor surface?
• Is your brake pedal feeling a bit soft or spongy?
Will It Pass the WOF?
No, mate, worn or damaged brake rotors will absolutely not pass a New Zealand Warrant of Fitness (WOF). They need to be up to scratch with minimum thickness specs and free from any nasty scoring, cracks, or warping to keep you safe on the road.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate — A bit of a challenge, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle (Factor in a bit of extra time for that first 'go')
Tools Required: A good sturdy jack, reliable jack stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake caliper compression tool, brake cleaner, a sturdy wire brush, and perhaps an impact wrench if you're feeling fancy.

• 🔧 Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A dab of this on the caliper slide pins will keep everything moving freely and quietly. Don't skip it!
• 😎 Safety Glasses: Your eyes are precious! Always wear safety glasses to protect against flying dust or debris — especially when you're under the car. Safety Glasses
• 🧤 Heavy-Duty Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake dust and grease. Trust us, your hands will thank you! Nitrile Gloves

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 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.
