Mark,

pads are simple to change, all you need is a
screwdriver, and a 10mm socket.. maybe a C-clamp w/
block of wood to compress the piston.. You should
bleed the brakes.. I bought a migtyvac vacum pump,
and just flushed all the lines, putting fresh fluid
throughout; makes for long brake line life as the
brake fluid is hydrophilic
