I started as a newbie DIYer over the past several days: engine oil change, transmission/differential fluid changes were made easy thanks to your precious advice here...
I now need to inspect my breaks and possibly replace some pads and do whatever adjustments are required: how difficult is all that for a beginner such as myself? Is it enough for me to rely on the Haynes W123 book or do I need more? I would much appreciate any pointers you can give me, mentions of special tools that are required, useful warnings, etc.

Thanks
Rino
