Well, I actually have never changed just pads, now that I think about it. Usually includes rotors, or I need the brake off to get at something else like wheel studs. Yes on thick gloves for rusty rotors.

The point was that the gloves he used are not suitable for the task of CHANGING PADS not that people should not use gloves. I thought I had clarified that point but I guess not.


Screw it, I am going to go fill my washer fluid up

Just got me thinking about the headlights washer.. does it work at the same time as the windscreen washer? I ask as I have never seen washer residue on the front bumper of the car.. but the headlights are always clean...
