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.

Brakes is pretty easy, just got to use something to push the piston back inside the cailper to make clearance to fit over 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
