Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Your Volvo 440's disc brake rotors are vital for safe stopping. Think of them as the trusty surface that your brake pads clamp onto. Over time, they take a beating from friction, heat, and all the grit the road throws at them. This can seriously mess with your braking, especially in older machines like your 440 SE or GLT.
Uh Oh... Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms:
• Brakes are squealing like a gutted pig or grinding something awful?
• Feeling a wobble or pulse through the brake pedal?
• Taking way longer to pull up than you used to?
• Rotors look scored, rusty, or just plain rooted?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or dodgy disc brake rotors are a dead cert for failing a WOF here in New Zealand. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.

Difficulty: 6/10

🧰 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.
