Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Disc brake rotors are what stop your Toyota RAV4 or Vanguard, so they've gotta be up to scratch. Over time, they cop a hiding from heat and friction, and they can corrode, especially with all the stop-start driving around NZ and the hills these SUVs tackle.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes squealing like a rusty gate?
• Brake pedal vibrating like crazy?
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like?
• Rotors looking scored, cracked, or rusty?
WOF Worries?
Worn rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under your RAV4 or Vanguard when it's only held up by a jack. Get yourself some proper Jack Stands. And don't forget Safety Glasses – you only get one set of eyes!
• Brake Dust is Brutal: Give those new rotors and calipers a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you button everything up. This gets rid of any gunk or manufacturing residue.
• Keep the Squeaks Away: A little dab of Anti-Seize Caliper Grease on the caliper slide pins helps keep everything moving smoothly and quietly. Stops those annoying brake squeals.
• Glove Up! Brake dust is nasty stuff. Protect your hands with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves.

• 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.
