I havent disassembled the Brembo's yet but Id assume they are similar enough.
Thanks.....

Watching some videos and stuff it looks like that's what most people do. It also sounds like the fact that the car has less than 5k on it I should be able to pull off the dust covers by hand, then blow out the piston, then remove the seal.

I guess my biggest scare is getting a replacement seal and/or dust cover if I accidentally screw them up.

Going back in looks to be fairly easy as well. I'm just nervous because I've never done this before and I don't know how easy I can get things repaired if it goes wrong.
