Default changing brake pads....

I've never done it before, but am quite mechanically adept. Read the appropriate pieces in the tech section... is it as straight forward as it appears ? Any pitfalls or tips ? Any special tools required or suggested ? Doing both fronts and backs.. Hawk HPS's.

Thanks,

Default for the rears, you can just remove the top caliper bolt and pivot the caliper. easier to

get back on that way.
