Description

Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring the RDA Rotor
> Disc brake rotors are what your brake pads hug tight to slow you down. Over time, they suffer, especially on hardworking Subarus like the Legacy, Impreza, and Outback. Heat, friction, and tough conditions will eventually take their toll. Time for a swap, mate!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Screeching like a rusty gate every time you brake?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena (vibrating like crazy)?
• Taking longer to stop than a overloaded ute?
• Rotors looking like they've been through a war (cracked, scored, rusty)?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in NZ. They gotta be thick enough and free from cracks to get the tick of approval.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you dive in, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always! And a clean job is a good job, right?
• Safety Glasses: Protect those peepers from flying dust and debris. You don't want any nasty surprises!
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake dust and chemicals. Brake cleaner is rough on the skin.
• Brake Cleaner: This stuff is gold for blasting away brake dust and grime. Makes everything easier to work with and ensures your new pads bed in properly. Brake Cleaner
• Caliper Grease: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins ensures everything moves smoothly and prevents future squeaks. Caliper Grease

Important Note: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands!
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety. Replacing them keeps you safe and stops other parts from getting damaged. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn – I'll help you find the perfect fit for your Subaru!
Fitment Notes
Make sure the new rotors are the right ones for your Subaru's year and model. Some have different sizes. Always do both rotors on an axle (both fronts or both rears) to keep your braking balanced.

🧰 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.
