    Very well done. you could probably add the reason for adding copper paste on the mounting surface of the new disc.
    Same goes for the anti squeal. The name says what it does, but why?
    and honestly "Make sure the pads are installed with linings facing the disc. "
    I understand encouraging people to maintain their own cars is great but if they aren't savvy enough to get that right, then they probably shouldn't even have taken the wheels off. Or is that me having too high expectations?
