Is it advisable to replace the brake pads on ES300 yourself? Has anyone done so? I am a novice car enthusiast and other than replacing engine oil, have never worked on cars. Would it be a prudent thing for me to attempt to do?

brakes are alittle more technical than changing oil but not much
it is a good place to start to learn
it is also very easy with the right tools
need to remove the wheel after it is jacked up
undo 2 bolts on the calipers and pull up then pop off the pads
then you have to get a tool to reinsert the piston into the caliper
likea vise clamp
open the brake res to let out the air up top
then make sure you reinstall them metal anti sqeal shims in front of them and replace
all done can be done in about an hour
