Brian,
It is fairly easy to do yourself. You just need the right tools. I can't
remember what size allen wrench to use to get the calipers off. I will find
out today as I am changing mine out again. Once you get them off use a
c-clamp (or a tool I bought at Sears) to push the pistons back into their
bores. They need to be pretty flush up against the caliper in order to
slide them back onto the rotor. Make sure to watch your master cylinder
though that fluid doesn't back up and over the unit. It will eat any paint
it touches. Unless you open up the lines you will not need to rebleed the
system. Good Luck.
