Description
Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes of your Lexus LS400 or Toyota Celsior's braking. They're what the brake pads grip to slow you down. Over time, they cop a beating from friction and heat, which can lead to dodgy braking, shuddering, and noises you don't want to hear, especially when you're giving it a bit of stick or just doing the daily grind.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Brake pedal feels like it's vibrating when you brake.
• Squealing or grinding – sounds like a farmyard under your car.
• Takes longer to pull up than it used to.
• Rotors look scored, cracked, or rusty as.
• Brake pads are wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF if they're thinner than a cafe lunch or have damage that stops them from doing their job properly.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper piston compression tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, safety first! Grab some safety glasses to keep the dust and debris out of your eyes. You'll also want some nitrile gloves – brake dust is a bugger to get off your hands. Give those rotors a good blast with brake cleaner to get rid of any carbon dust. And don't forget a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots to keep things moving smoothly.

Worn brake rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety on your Lexus LS400 or Toyota Celsior. Replacing them with decent rotors like the RDA ones CARFIX stocks will get you stopping properly again. Bob @ CARFIX is your man to sort out the right parts for your Lexus.

Fitment Notes
Make sure they fit your Lexus LS400 or Toyota Celsior model year. Check the rotor size and thickness before you start. Always do both sides of the axle at once to keep the 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.
