In all honesty, it's been a while since I've done a brake job myself. Actually, the pads on my 2006 DB9 are fine, but I bought some BG Stop Squeal, and I guess I'm going to need to pull the pads to apply it.
I found a YouTube video showing front pad replacement on a Vantage, but can someone who's familiar with the job provide a quick run-through of the process, with a particular focus on any details that may be minefields to watch out for?
Thanks!

 

The video applies equally to DB9 (same brakes on both), and rears are virtually identical to the fronts as far as pad change is concerned. If you follow the video you shouldn't have any trouble.

 

Super easy.. The video should show you very clearly what needs to come apart mechanically. The trick is making sure you don't wind up with the dreaded squeak when you're done. I dug up this thread that goes through quite a bit of the little details regarding the installation that will make the difference for you.

I did my brakes a couple years ago now using the Porterfield pads to both eliminate my constant squeak as well as excessive brake dust issue I was having with the factory pads. It was quite a journey to get them perfect but ever since I've had absolutely silent braking and no more dust than my Infiniti SUV daily driver. The devil's in the details.

Good luck!

Thanks.
Done the job. The worst part was getting the jack properly situated!
For anyone doing this for the first time, I'd recommend starting with the front wheels. The ability to turn the wheel to get the outside of the calipers facing you is very helpful for someone looking at this for the first time (seeing the sensor and its mounting spring clearly, for example).
