Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA: Keep Your Van Stopping Sweet as!
> Right, let's talk about your van's stoppers! Disc brake rotors are absolutely vital for safe braking, giving those brake pads something solid to bite into. Especially for older workhorses like your Toyota Liteace or Town Ace, lugging gear around and hitting the brakes often can really give them a hard time, leading to wear, warping, or even cracks. This can seriously muck up your braking performance, and nobody wants that!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• A bit of a shake or pulse through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you're slowing down.
• Nasty squealing, grinding, or scraping noises when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling like it's taking longer than it should to pull up.
• Seeing some gnarly scores, grooves, or odd discolouration on the rotor itself.
• A brake pedal that feels a bit soft or spongy.
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate, no chance. Worn, warped, or damaged brake rotors are a definite fail for a New Zealand Warrant of Fitness (WOF). The WOF inspection is super strict on brake condition and performance, and for good reason — it's all about keeping everyone safe on our roads.

🧰 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.
