Can I change Front Brembo Pads Myself?

My Brembo's are beginning to go on my 04 TL. Can I replace these myself? Did not know how hard of a process it was.

1. you need the tools required to do the brakes, hammer screwdriver and some wd40
2. the brembo pads are hard to find outside of the dealer. contact some of the pad makers. i recommend Baer SBS pads.

to beat the caliper until the pads fall out.

its just another one of my USE YOUR NUGGET expressions. take the wheel off and take a look. no special tools needed, but if you dont have a general idea as to how this stuff works then you're better off planting some tulips and let your mechanic or dealer change your pads.
