Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Style
> Those disc brake rotors on your Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento are key to safe braking. They wear down over time from the pads rubbing, especially with all that stop-start in town and the extra weight from the kids or the boat. Time for a change, eh?

What Clued You In?
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding like gears.
• The brake pedal's vibrating something fierce.
• Taking way too long to pull up at the lights.
• Rotors look like they've been through a war zone.

WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a dead cert for failing your WOF here in NZ. They've got to be a certain thickness and not too beat up to pass the test.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skip the stands!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper tool.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth it! And chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes.
• Brake Dust Be Gone: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast it off the rotors and calipers. Makes the job cleaner and safer.
• Glove Up, Buttercup: Keep those hands clean and protected with some Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and grease aren't exactly good for the skin.
• Grease is the Word: Use a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins and pad contact points. This stops things seizing up and keeps your brakes running smoothly.

Bob's Two Cents
Worn rotors mean your Santa Fe or Sorento won't stop like it should, especially when you're fully loaded. New rotors are a no-brainer for safety. Pop into Bob's Shop – he'll sort you out with the right bits!

Important Bits
Double-check those new rotors fit your exact Santa Fe or Sorento model and year. Some versions have different sizes or need specific brake pad types. Bob's your man for this.

🧰 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.
