Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — An RDA Special
> Disc brake rotors are what stops your Mazda CX-7 or CX-9. They wear down over time due to friction, buckle from heat, or corrode, especially if you're always in Auckland traffic. Time for an upgrade, bro.
Uh Oh, Sounds Like You've Got These Issues
• Brakes are squealing like a pig or grinding
• Pedal's vibrating like crazy when you brake
• Taking way too long to stop
• Rotors are scored up, cracked, or rusty as
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or rooted disc brake rotors are a classic WOF fail here in NZ. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and no cracks to pass the test, mate.
DIY or Workshop?
Skill Level: 6/10
Time Needed: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, new brake pads (good idea, that)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Always: Never get under a car that's only held up by a jack! Use proper stands, yeah? And chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes.
• Keep it Clean, Keep it Keen: Blast away all that nasty brake dust with some Brake Cleaner. Keeps everything working sweet.
• Protection is Paramount: A good set of Nitrile Gloves will save your hands from getting covered in brake dust. Trust me, your partner will thank you.
• Lube it Up: When reassembling, a dab of anti-seize on the caliper bolts helps for next time. Makes life easier, eh?

• 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.
