Agree with Dave 100% ... they are a piece of cake to replace.  The main
worry is that the screw holding the rotor to the hub is rusted in place
... you may want to hit it with penetrating oil beforehand.  The other
caveat is to look at the interface connector for the wear sensor ...
make sure that the new pads have the right connector.  No big deal as
you can always splice, but it is better to go into the project knowing
this as you can splice before the pads are in place ...
