Brakes on '98 v70
 

I have 2 '98 v70's and want to do the brakes and rotors on both myself. The thing is I have never done a brake job in my life. I am mostly motivated by money but seriously want to know how to do it. Is this too much for a rookie or should I dive in? Anyone know of a good on-line resource for instructions or should I get a service manual?

Thanks!

Here try these directions. The brakes are pretty easy to work on. I even taught my daughter how to do them. She said she could, but didn't like getting that dirty. So she married a mechanic.
