How often: every 16,000 mi or year, whichever comes first. Heavy vehicles with big wheels wear pads, discs and tyres quickly.
Work safely: support the vehicle on axle stands, never a jack alone; let it cool first. Check figures against your workshop manual. You do this work at your own risk.
Parts
Brake pads (if under 3 mm)
Brake discs (if under minimum)
Tools
Jack and stands (or a lift)
Vernier
Torch
Step by step
Check pad thickness and disc condition on every wheel (many models also have pad wear sensors).
Check tyres for wear, damage and age; check the spare.
Look for leaks at the dampers, and check ball joints and bushes for play.
Check brake pipes and hoses for corrosion and chafing.
