Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are dead important for stopping safely in your MG HS or GS. Over time, they get worn down by the brake pads. This means your braking won't be as good, and that's not ideal, especially with precious cargo on board.
Signs It's Time for New Rotors
• Brakes are squealing like stuck pigs or making a grinding noise
• Your brake pedal is vibrating like crazy
• Taking longer to stop than usual
• Rotors look scored, cracked, or rusty as
• Brake pads are wearing unevenly
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. Rotors need to be a certain thickness and can't have cracks or major damage to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, legend, before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your peepers, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. Brake dust is nasty stuff! Give your new rotors a good blast with brake cleaner to get rid of any manufacturing gunk. And when you're putting everything back together, a wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things smooth for next time. Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use stands!

Fitment Notes
• Double-check those new rotors are the right size for your MG HS, GS or EHS Hybrid.
• Always do rotors in pairs (both front or both rear) for even braking.
• Think about doing the brake pads at the same time for best results and to stop premature wear.

• 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.
