Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Disc brake rotors: they're those shiny metal discs hiding behind your wheels. When you hit the brakes, the calipers squeeze brake pads against these rotors, slowing your beast down. This is super important, especially when you're towing the boat or hitting those dusty metal tracks.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Sounds like a pack of seagulls when you brake?
• Steering wheel doing the Macarena when you brake?
• Taking longer to stop than a cafe lunch?
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder?
• Smells like someone's burning rubber after a hard stop?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate. If your rotors are rooted, warped, or thinner than a WOF inspector's patience, you'll fail. They gotta be up to scratch to keep you safe on the roads.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Tricky but doable)
Estimated Time: A good afternoon's work (1-2 hours per wheel)
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel brace, brake caliper tool, torque wrench, socket set, G-clamp, wire brush, brake cleaner, safety glasses, gloves. Don't forget the chilly bin and some snarlers for the BBQ!
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're all set. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the dust and debris out of your peepers, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean – brake dust is a pain to get off. Now, give those rotors a good blast with some Brake Cleaner to get rid of any grime, and don't forget a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots to keep things moving smoothly. Better to be safe than sorry, eh?

🧰 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.
