Description

Nissan Serena & Leaf Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Your Nissan Serena or Leaf relies on its disc brake rotors to pull up safely. Over time, they wear down from the pads rubbing every time you slow down. This can make your braking less effective, especially in heavy traffic.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a pig or grinding noises when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling a shudder or pulsing through the brake pedal.
• Taking longer to stop than it used to.
• Seeing grooves or damage on the rotor surface.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF in NZ. They need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, replacement brake pads (recommended).
