• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and away from brake dust. Trust me, you don't want that stuff on your skin. Nitrile Gloves
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty carbon dust and grime from the new rotors before you fit the brake pads. Makes a world of difference. Brake Cleaner
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the contact points keeps everything smooth and quiet. Stops those annoying squeaks.
