Get Your Brakes Sorted with This Disc Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grip onto to bring you to a halt. Over time, they cop a beating from heat and friction, leading to wear, warping, or even cracks. This can seriously mess with your braking, especially in a sporty European number like the Peugeot 308 GTi or a bigger family hauler like the Peugeot 5008.
Signs You Might Need New Rotors
• Feeling a wobble or pulsing through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you hit the brakes.
• Hearing squeals, grinding, or scraping noises when braking.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Seeing deep scratches, grooves, or weird colours on the rotor surface.
• A brake pedal that feels soft or spongy.
Will it pass WOF?
Nope, if your brake rotors are too worn, warped, or damaged, your vehicle will fail its WOF. Brakes need to be tip-top for a pass.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A good challenge)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel nut wrench, brake caliper compression tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, and maybe an impact wrench if things are stuck.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're set up for success. Safety first – always use jack stands when lifting your vehicle; never trust a jack alone! Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust (it's not good to breathe in), and a can of anti-seize caliper grease for the caliper bolts. Don't forget your safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes and some nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. A clean job is a good job, 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.
