Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Disc brake rotors are what your brake pads clamp onto to slow you down. Over time, especially with tough conditions or dusty metal tracks, they can wear out. Think warped, cracked, or just plain tired rotors on your Nissan Patrol or Ford Maverick.
What Clued You In?
• Sounds like a coffee grinder when you brake?
• Your steering wheel's doing the shimmy?
• Taking longer than a cafe lunch to stop?
• Rotors look like they've seen better days (scoring, cracks, rust)?
• Pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF. They need to be thick enough and not too damaged to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
