Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA's Got You Sorted
> Your disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grip to slow you down. Over time, especially with heavy use in vans and SUVs, they wear out, warp, or even crack. That means dodgy braking and nobody wants that.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes sound like a pack of seagulls fighting over a chip (squealing or grinding).
• Your brake pedal's doing the Macarena (vibrating).
• Taking ages to stop.
• Rotors look like they've been through a war zone (scoring, cracks, rust).
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly.
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They gotta be thick enough and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10 (tricky, but doable)
Time Needed: About 1-2 hours per rotor
What You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skimp on safety!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and new brake pads (smart move).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands, or you're asking for trouble.
• Blast that Brake Dust: Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to get rid of all that nasty carbon dust. It'll help everything seat properly.
• Keep the Squeaks Away: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots can stop annoying squeaks. Ask Bob where to apply.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a no-brainer. You don't want grit flying in your eyes.
• Glove Up: Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected from brake fluid. No one likes brake fluid on their skin.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors are a safety risk. Replacing them keeps you stopping sweet and stops other brake bits from getting damaged. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for sussing out the right part. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Make sure you get the right rotor size for your ride. Some models have different options. Always do both rotors on an axle 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.
