if u have some basic tools and follow the diy in the diy section you can do it. while at it also flush the system and then bleed it in all four corners. just search in the diy section.
if your going to be changing the front calipers, change them to the 95 legend ls coupe calipers, their dual piston instead of our single piston

Rotor and pad, yes. If you have to ask if you can change it i wouldnt even contemplate touching the caliper.

There are DIY's on changing the rotors and pads.

If you have to ask-
then its time to make friends with another ziner in your town, or a private honda-acura shop

Brakes are critical-- as they keep you out of trees and other car trunks~

can it be done - yes. should you do it - no (based on the way you asked the question). like others have said - make friends or find a good honda-acura tech / shop to do the work for you. brakes are the most important component of the car.

As other have said, if you're asking that specific question, you should be either ready to invest time in learning and researching or take it to a pro. Doing this job wrong can kill you and worse, innocent or people you care about.

so no you can't do it yourself. Pay someone to do it for you or if you are brave and learn fast, try replacing your rotors and pads, but be prepared to call someone you know well for help.

have the friend THERE
brakes are nothing to fool around with
Damage to paint from spilled fluid is the least of your worries

read the DIY and see if you feel confident
