Can I replace just two rotors?
You do not need to replace all 4 rotors at the same time, but it is recommended to replace the rotors and pads as a set for each axle front or back at the same time.
Can you reuse brake rotors?
Many of today’s vehicle manufacturers do not recommend that rotors be resurfaced during a routine brake pad replacement.
Can you replace only 1 rotor?
Yes , you can install just one disk/rotor without the other. BUT the Brake pads should ALWAYS be replaced on BOTH sides, AT THE SAME TIME. If you only replace pads on that one side with the new rotor, then you will run into the same problem later on, but on the other side.
Why do I need to replace my brake rotors every time I?
Yes, brake rotors typically need to be replaced every time you have the brake pads replaced. Here’s why rotors don’t last as long as they used to.
How long do rotors last on a car?
When rotors were thicker, they could take the wear from the brake pads, be machined and still have enough metal left to dissipate the heat. Today, new rotors are often intended to last for one set of brake pads.
When do I need to replace my brake pads?
A. The only time you’ll need to replace your brake pads and rotors is when the pads are worn and your rotors are warped, though that doesn’t happen often. Rotors are engineered to last about 50,000-80,000 miles for standard steel.
Are there any brake rotors that are rusted?
The rotors are in fact quite rusted, however, there is no rust on the actual surface that touches the pads. Running my fingers over the surface of the rotors, there does not appear to be any buildup of brake pad deposits and the surface is relatively smooth.

When to replace the brake pads on a car?
Instead, they recommend that, as long as the rotor is in good condition, the pads should be replaced. Once the rotors show signs of wear, out they go. Sometimes rotors become too worn out or damaged to replace. Sometimes they have already been resurfaced the maximum number of times.
Can a brake disc be replaced at the same time?
In a perfect world, this wouldn’t be the case, but other factors could influence the angle of incidence of the brake piston against the pad, thus the pad on the disc – creating a braking imbalance. You will eventually need to replace both discs at the same time. At some point, the resurfaced disc will come out of specification.
