🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you start wrestling with those rotors, mate, a little prep goes a long way. Safety first – always use axle stands when you've got the car jacked up. Never get under a car supported only by a jack! Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust. It's also a good idea to have some anti-seize grease handy for the caliper bolts. Don't forget your Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean, and safety glasses to avoid getting brake dust in your eyes!
