Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Style
> Disc brake rotors are absolutely vital for your Suzuki Escudo or Grand Vitara's stopping power. They take a hammering from friction and heat, especially with the everyday grind and those off-road adventures many Kiwi Escudo and Vitara owners love.
Uh Oh... Sound Familiar?
• Brakes screamin' like a banshee?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena?
• Taking longer to pull up than a cafe lunch queue?
• Rotors lookin' like they've been through a war?
WOF Woes?
Worn rotors are a classic WOF fail in New Zealand. They gotta be thick enough and in decent nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10

Before you get cracking on those rotors, mate, let's make sure you're set up for success. Safety first, yeah?

• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your mitts clean and protected from brake dust. These gloves Nitrile Gloves are the go.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that brake dust and grime. Makes the job cleaner and easier. Get your Brake Cleaner ready.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease goes a long way to keep things moving smoothly and prevent squeaks. Ask Bob for advice.
Remember, never get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper stands, and don't be shy about asking Bob for a hand if you're not sure about something.
