I changed the front discs & pads all round the other day.
The only git, was the calliper bolts on the Brembo's, but they came off in the end with no issues!
This was my first go at them& found them quite easy.

Make sure that you clean the Brembo mounting bolts BEFORE attempting to remove them.
Also squirt with WD40 or similar the night before.

Use good quality tools: I've started buying 6-sided sockets for rusty nuts, less likely to slip.

DO remember to scrupulously clean the area of contact between the new disc and the hub. This is VERY important.
