Swapping Out Your LDV T60's Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Your LDV T60's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads clamp against to slow you down. Over time, they cop a beating from all the friction and heat, especially hard yakka on a work Ute. Worn rotors mean dodgy braking and can be a real safety issue. Let's get them sorted!
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hear a squeal or grind when you hit the brakes?
• Feel a wobble or pulse through the brake pedal?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Rotors look scored, rusty, or just plain rooted?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a dead cert for failing a WOF here in New Zealand. They gotta be above minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time needed: Give yourself 2-3 hours per axle
Gear you'll need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor puller (maybe).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, listen up! Safety first, yeah? Grab yourself some safety glasses and nitrile gloves – brake dust and rust ain't your skin's best mate. And for heaven's sake, don't be shy with the brake cleaner – give those calipers and new rotors a proper blast to get rid of any gunk. Last but not least, a little smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts will make your life easier next time around. Trust me, a little bit of prep goes a long way to getting the job done right.
Bob's Two Cents
Worn discs will make your LDV T60 unsafe, especially if you're hauling gear or tackling rough roads. New RDA rotors will sort you out with reliable stopping power. Call into Bob's Shop and we can suss out the right parts for your LDV T60.
Fitment Notes
Double-check the new rotors are the right fit for your LDV T60. Rotor sizes and mounting patterns can vary, especially between different models like the DTT and EV.

🧰 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.
