I just did mine this weekend. It was pretty easy, the hardest part i thought was gettin the caliper and pads back on the rotor.

A clamp and a small thin piece of wood and push it back in. Usually nobody has the right tool so that's what i use at home, works everytime. ;)

ya once i got the caliper pushed back in it was a sinch. The c-clamp that hayne's said to use didn't really do much for. Maybe if i had used it with a small piece of wood it might have gone better
