• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• That pesky brake pad warning light's lit up on the dash?

• Glove Up: Grab some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean and protected from the grime.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Cls, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4270S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
