Making Your Brake Rotors Last With OEM Parts
The brake rotors are the large metal discs that rotate with your wheels and provide the surface for your pads to grip. Maintaining a smooth and flat rotor surface is vital for the safety of your BMW, Porsche, Volvo, or exact model. If you feel a vibration in the pedal or hear a grinding sound, your discs may be warped or worn beyond their safety limits.
How to Maintain the Brake Rotors in Your BMW, Porsche, Land Rover, Volvo, or Land Rover
1. Visual Inspection
Look for blue discoloration, which indicates extreme overheating, or deep grooves that look like a record player.
2. Check for Lips
Feel the outer edge of the disc for a raised lip; a deep ridge means the rotor has been worn too thin.
3. Clean the Hub
Use a wire brush to remove all rust from the wheel hub surface before installing new rotors.
4. Remove the Retaining Screw
Most Euro cars use a small Torx screw to hold the disc to the hub. Ensure this is removed.
5. Apply Brake Cleaner
Wash the new genuine rotors with specialized cleaner to prevent rust.
