i was nervous the first time diy it as it's a critical safety component vs blowing a motor but still be alive and not crash and burn if something does goes wrong

it's as straight forward as the video...you might stumble upon some rust/seized bolts but the learning/reward is worth the elbow grease...you'll likely need a special tool for the rear caliber piston. all in all i prefer it over an oil change/climbing under the car because you're not bent over in the engine bay/working with super tight spaces

never drove around with parking brake engaged so didn't have to worry about that, haven't had to change shims, no squeaks thereafter...yes i would change out the rotors on an 10 year old vehicle...hope not too much brembo tax

if you want the peace of mind and dont want to 'work' on a day off, by all means just pay a shop
