🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands, yeah? Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean, and safety glasses to keep the brake dust out of your eyes. You'll also want a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty carbon dust. A wee smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly next time around.
