Disk brakes generally aren't that difficult, drums are a little trickier, but doing them yourself can save $200-$300, which will pay for a C-clamp, a set of sockets, etc. if you haven't got them already.

It would be helpful to have someone knowledgeable with you the first time, though. At 108k you may have a few seized items that you'll need to pay special attention to (caliper sliders, drum adjustment wheels, etc.).

My worries exactly.
I'd love to them myself, but there are some serious kms on these puppies. I'd hate to get in over my head and not beable to drive the car. Or bugger up something bad.
