than you, since you've already done something similar on your '89. It was surprisingly easy(!). Ebrake cable just unhooks, pads are very easy, just make sure you have the caliper tool (buy from sponsors), and lubricate the yoke-slide surface with high temp grease. I also replaced rotors, used a 1/2" impact wrench to loosen 19mm caliper bolts (lots of rust + crud), then used a manual impact screw (torx) driver to loosen the locator screws. Installing a rebuilt caliper would be simple at that point. Trickiest part was adjusting ebrake properly--- just make sure you follow the directions in Bentley exactly. If the ebrake won't engage properly, you just have to re-intsall pads and try again. Rotors + pads are around $100, so a fairly cheap DIY...
