Very easy to do and you probably do not want or need rotors thinned out for you. Just used the pads and vise grips to retract the pistons, then pull the pads (cotter pins and main pins first) and inspect the rubber seals then use a blunt tool to retract the pistons so you can insert the new pads. Don't hurt the seals, and the tire tool in your "tool kit" works well. Fluid [ressure will try to drive the pistons slowly out and you will have to retract then and put the pad in. For bleeding, see Bentley and maybe get a MotiveProducts bleeder.
