Skip it. Brakes are easy, although it helps to have a book. If not, just make sure you note how the springs hold the pads in very closely before taking them out. Also, be very careful removing the rotor screw. Done correctly, even the oldest will come out... but it's easy to butcher them. Replace them on reassembly.
