Swapping brake pads?

Hello, I was wondering if it's a rather easy process to replace the brake pads on the brembos, I own an X and was wondering if this was rather easy of time consuming? I am mechanically inclined but have never worked on my EVO personally, trying to decide weather or not I should have a mech. replace them or do it myself? Thanks guys!


P.S. I tired do a search on this topic first but I came up empty handed.

Search over in the Evo 1 - 9 forums. There are plenty of How-Tos. It should be nearly identical.

And yes, it's an easy procedure.

There's a thread in the how-to section over here. They are the same as the VIII/IX though.

Pull the wheel, use a punch and a hammer (carefully) and push the pins out. Then pull the pads and swap. Reverse the process (have to use a hammer to get the pins back in).
