    Good on you for being willing to give it a go :-)

    As someone who can rebuild pretty much any part of an internal combustion car, there’s no shame in being careful with safety items. Also, brake work is nasty, dirty, and often swear-inducing … so you’re not missing out, lol

      Yeah, I’ve helped others with brake jobs, and it’s no fun. That and my experience with handling asbestos claims are also probably pretty big factors

        Yeah. Even though asbestos has been illegal for ages there’s still loads of black soot … plus the hazards to skin of brake cleaner and brake fluid :-/

        TBH the only time I do brake work now is when there’s something special needed, like a rebuild of something that needs to be done with care and attention
