Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotor — RDA Style
> Disc brake rotors are primo for stopping your Holden Captiva. Over time, they get worn down, warped from heat, or corroded, which makes stopping safely harder, especially in a family SUV. Don't get caught out there!

Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes screeches or grinds when you hit the pedal.
• Steering wheel shimmies when braking.
• Takes longer to stop than it used to.
• Can see scoring, rust, or damage on the rotor itself.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn or rooted disc brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Make sure your rotors are thick enough and not too damaged to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Skill Level: 6/10
Expected Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (handy but optional).

🛠️ 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 crud out of your peepers and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep the hands clean. Give everything a good blast with brake cleaner to get rid of that nasty brake dust. Also, a wee smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly. Never get under a car supported only by a jack!
