Do you need specials tools?Yes yu do need special tools that are expensive.
Some friends of mine tried to do it without the special tools and it took them 2 hours for 1 brake pad.
With the tools, it would take 20min.
Ask a mechanic for the names of the tools.
It is slightly difficult. You do need experience or you should watch another person do it so you can learn it.
