Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Style
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit in your Honda Accord or MDX's braking setup. They cop a hiding from friction and heat, and over time, they wear down causing less braking power and potential safety issues. Especially if you are regularly dealing with stop-start traffic.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes sound like a gaggle of geese?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena?
• Taking longer to stop than a cafe lunch?
• Rotors looking worse for wear (scoring, cracks, rust)?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Driving on dodgy rotors is a surefire way to fail your WOF in New Zealand. They need to be within the minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, let's make sure you're sorted with the right bits and bobs to do the job properly:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands; your life's worth it. And safety glasses are a no-brainer to keep the brake dust out of your peepers.
• Keep it Clean: Brake cleaner is your best mate here. Give everything a good blast to get rid of brake dust and grime. You can grab some Brake Cleaner right here at CARFIX.
• Glove Up: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Protect your hands with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Trust me, your hands will thank you.
• Anti-Seize is Your Friend: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will make life easier next time you're in there. Plus, it helps prevent annoying squeals.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors are not worth risking it. Replacing them will give you better stopping power and reduce the chance of damage to other brake components. If you are unsure what rotor is right for your Honda, head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
Make sure you get the right rotor size and specs for your specific Honda Accord or MDX model and year. Some models might have different rotor sizes depending on the trim or factory options.
