It was a piece of cake and restrospectively I am embarassed that I even panicked.
1. Calipers are 3 bolts. 2 are 12mm and 1 is 14mm. Took all of 60 seconds to get caliper off. The random "piston retractor tool" at any auto parts store (sears too) works fine. This is a 7 dollar tool and I rank it as one of my best investments of all time. (c-clamp works too).
2. Rotors required a stripped screw retractor ($18 at lowes) and also worked like a charm.
3. Rotors were a challenge but again, like everything else, such a learning curve. Get a #8 3 inch bolt at lowes and screw it into the threaded hole on the rotor made for this purpose and it pops right off.
The first side took me 2.5 hours and 2 trips to Lowes. The second side took under 20 minutes start to finish. I will NEVER take another car in to get brakes done. Email me when ready to this. I could walk you through it over the phone.
