I agree with the other guy. If the Haynes Manual is to over the top, then you are to under the experienced to be servicing brakes. They are easy to do, and a Haynes Manual is one of the most informative resources available for the DIY's, and is laid out in the easiest to understan format possible. I suggest you spend the money or hire a buddy!
I think you better farm this out, If you can't follow a Haynes manual, you are going to have a problem following some body on the net or a web page.
Find a friend that has experience changing brakes so you aren't learning ';on-the-job'; all by yourself. This is not something you want to make a mistake on, as your life, as many others, depends on quality work. You probably can do the job if you learn from someone else. If you think the Haynes manual is too over the top, then you are too under-knowleged to do the job yourself.
