Swapping Out Those Disc Brake Rotors — Starring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit for your Nissan Patrol or Ford Maverick. They're what your brake pads grip onto to slow you down. But, over time, especially if you're giving it heaps off-road, they can wear out, warp, or even crack. That means dodgy braking and potential trouble.
What Gave It Away?
• Sounds like a coffee grinder when you hit the brakes?
• Your brake pedal's doing the Macarena?
• Taking longer to pull up than a cafe lunch?
• Rotors looking like they've seen better days (scoring, cracks, rust)?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Worthy?
Worn or rooted brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be within the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes, and a decent pair of nitrile gloves will save your hands from getting covered in brake dust (that stuff's nasty!).
While you're at it, give everything a good blast with some brake cleaner to get rid of any built-up grime. And don't forget a dab of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts to make life easier next time.
Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety, especially if you're pushing your Patrol or Maverick hard. Swapping them out keeps your braking spot-on and reduces the chance of a nasty surprise. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen to help you nail down the right bit for your 4WD. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check it's the right fit for your specific Nissan Patrol, Safari, Terrano, or Ford Maverick. Rotor sizes can vary. Always do both sides together 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.
