    My advice is if you have no experience, then take it to a mechanic. GOOD brakes are very important.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    But then how are you meant to get experience?

    Plenty of videos around on how to rebuild your brakes.
