Safety

Safety is paramount when working on any vehicle, and particularly on the brakes. Areas to consider include:

• If you are not sure what you are doing, get a professional to do it
• Ensure the vehicle is safely raised (using stands rather than a jack) before getting under any part of the vehicle
• Brake pads (and the associated dust) no longer contain asbestos, but the fine dust is unlikely to be good for you...
• Brake fluid damages car paint. It's unlikely to be good for people, either...
• Bleed out any air that may have entered the brake system before considering the job complete
