Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Your Citroen's disc brake rotors are dead important, eh? They're what the brake pads clamp onto to bring you to a halt. Over time, especially battling Auckland traffic in a Berlingo or zipping around in a C3, they can wear out, warp, or even crack. Not ideal for that WOF check!
What Clued You In?
• Brakes screamin' like a banshee or grindin' like a coffee grinder?
• Pedal vibratin' like you're ridin' a massage chair?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors lookin' like they've seen better days – cracks, grooves, the works?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a classic reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. Gotta make sure they're thick enough and not lookin' too sad to pass the test.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, let's sort out your safety and make sure you've got the right bits and pieces. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands!
• Safety Glasses: Keep the muck and brake dust out of your eyes. You only get one set!
• Nitrile Gloves: Brake dust isn't something you want all over your mitts. Grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that built-up brake dust and grime. Makes the job cleaner and easier. Get yourself a can of Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent annoying squeals. Worth its weight in gold!
