🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, let's talk safety and making sure you've got everything you need. Brakes are safety-critical, so no cutting corners!
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth it!
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away the grime and keep things sparkling. Plus, it helps your new pads bed in properly.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and old brake fluid aren't exactly kind to your skin.
• Anti-Seize is Your Friend: A little dab of anti-seize compound on the caliper bolts will make your life easier next time you're in there. Trust me on this one.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a no-brainer. Keep the brake dust and cleaner out of your peepers.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing those brake rotors is a no-brainer for safe driving, especially if you're racking up the k's in your Galant or Lancer. RDA rotors are a solid choice, but we've got a range of options at CARFIX to suit every budget. Head down to Bob's Shop, and we'll get you sorted with the right parts!
Fitment Notes

🧰 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: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
