🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, grab these essentials to make the job safer and easier:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use proper Jack Stands. Safety glasses are a must to keep brake dust out of your eyes.
• Keep it Clean: Brake cleaner is your best mate for blasting away that nasty brake dust. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to keep things sparkling.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Brake dust is yuck.
• Anti-Seize is Key: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins will keep everything moving smoothly. Trust me, future you will thank you.
Fitment Notes
Make sure these pads are the right fit for your exact model and year. Some D-Maxes, Colorados and LDV T60s have different brake setups depending on the trim. Double-check those fitment details!

🧰 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.
