Description

Alfa Romeo Disc Brake Rotor Replacement — With RDA
> Your Alfa Romeo Spider or GTV relies on disc brake rotors for stopping power. Over time, the friction from brake pads wears these down. This means your braking isn't as sharp and could be risky, especially if you drive it hard.

Spotting the Trouble
• Brakes squealing or grinding? Sounds like a rusty gate?
• Feel a wobble when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Rotors look scored, cracked, or seriously rusty?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?

Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a classic WOF fail here in NZ. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack, stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a caliper piston tool.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, a little prep goes a long way. Brakes are safety-critical, so no cutting corners!
• Safety First, Eh? Wear safety glasses – you don't want any brake dust in your eyes. And those brake cleaner sprays can sting!
• Glove Up: Grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean. Brake dust is a bugger to get off.
• Cleanliness is Next to... Safe Brakes: Get yourself a can of Brake Cleaner. Blast away all that carbon dust before you start pulling things apart.
• Lube it Right: A little Anti-Seize Grease on the caliper bolts will make your life easier next time.

Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors mess with your Alfa Romeo's handling and safety. Swapping them out with quality RDA rotors will get your braking back to top-notch. Pop into Bob's Shop and he'll sort you out with exactly what you need for your Alfa Romeo. Bob's always keen for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Double-check the new rotors fit your exact Alfa Romeo Spider or GTV model and engine. Make sure the diameter and thickness match the originals.

🧰 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.
