Matt,

I don't know what your experience & mechanical aptitude are like, so its hard to answer that question.

I would rather err on the side of safety and tell you it would be best to do the job with the aid of an experienced friend OR let a pro do the work. The brakes are a very important system, something you don't want to fail while you're operating your car.

You have to be able to remove & re-install the caliper pistons without damaging them, and ignore any advice given to hone the bores. Also, only use brake fluid or brake parts cleaner, lint free rags, etc.

Your friend on the DTBB, George
