Nice!

There are lots of resources out there that give step by step instructions, and you are certainly capable of doing this job.

But sometimes it's fun to do it with a friend, learn how from them so you can do it on your own with confidence next time.

I first felt the confidence to do the job after reading this step by step guide, and then I read the actual service manual for my car before actually doing it.

Don't forget to pick up a few packets of the brake pad lubricant that come in those ketchup packet sized packets. You put a little bit of this lubricant between the thin brake shims and the brake pads in order to prevent squealing. Don't get any on the face of the pads or on the rotor.
