Some moron put the small rotors on my Aero too!
Everything you mention is quite easy to DIY.
- Doing the pulleys (and I replace all three) is a bit tight but not rocket science. oh and I recommend the long belt, but some are very happy with the short.
- as far as brakes, my caliper bolts were standard 18mm hex bolts but I believe that in '02 or '03 they switch to an external Torx. (E78 if memory serves, and it rarely does these days)
- TB, just a little carb cleaner on a rag (dont squirt it down the hatch)and wipe it down. finish up with a drop of light machine oil onthe butter fly pivots.
