Description

Disc Brake Rotor Swap-Out: RDA Style
> Your disc brake rotors are those metal discs that spin with your wheels. When you hit the brakes, the pads clamp down on these, using friction to slow you down. Over time, all that heat, friction, and the harsh conditions of off-roading – think mud and water – can wear them thin, warp them, or groove them up. This means your braking isn't as sharp or safe.

What Clued You In?
• Feeling a wobble or pulse through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you brake.
• Hearing squeals, grinding, or scraping when you apply the brakes.
• Noticing you need more distance to stop, especially when you're loaded up or towing.
• Seeing clear grooves, cracks, or discolouration on the rotor surface.
• Experiencing a soft or spongy feel in the brake pedal.

WOF Worthy?
Nah mate, worn-out, warped, or damaged brake rotors? That's a guaranteed WOF fail. Good brakes are a must for safety here in New Zealand, so any issues with your braking system will need sorting.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A decent challenge)
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per axle (if you know your way around)
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands, wheel wrench, brake caliper tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, maybe an impact wrench.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, safety first! Never, ever get under your Land Cruiser supported only by a jack. Use proper Jack Stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep those hands clean when dealing with brake dust. Give those new rotors a good spray down with Brake Cleaner to get rid of any manufacturing oils. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize Caliper Grease on the caliper bolts to prevent headaches later. Also, protect your eyes with Safety Glasses.

Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons it's a no-brainer to replace brake rotors when they're showing wear and tear, especially on a tough vehicle like your Land Cruiser. Good braking is key for safety, whether you're on the road or hitting the trails. The RDA RDA786D rotor is a top choice for its toughness and performance, made to handle the demands of these vehicles. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to help you nail down exactly what you need for your Land Cruiser. Come have a yarn at Bob's Shop!

Fitment Notes
This rotor fits various Toyota Land Cruiser models from '90 to '04, including TD, D, EFi, and Prado versions. Always double-check the year, engine size, and specific model of your Land Cruiser against the product specs to make sure you get the right fit. Brake bits can differ, even within the same model range.

Bob’s your uncle!

🧰 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.
