Does anybody know how easy it is to install new brake rotors and pads on your own? I was just curious as to whether its a pretty straightfoward DIY job, or if you needed any expensive tools and training to do it.

the only tricky thing is you need to bleed the brake system afterwards, which is either a 2 person job, or if you go to the dealer carefully, should be like 40.00 for them to do it.
it's not too hard. get a chilton's if you don't have one, you need jack stands MUST MUST have these, you can work on the car like this with it just jacked up, open ended wrenches, and brake fluid. -------------------- 1994 Lexus ES300
