Yeah if you can do it yourself it's a lot easier and will save you a small fortune over a lifetime.
btw when changing rear pads the cable can sometimes pop out of the bracket which connects to the handbrake lever. Easy to fix, just undo the two screws by the rear cup holder and lift up. You'll then be able to see the bracket, and you can put the cable back in. This was a bit if a head scratcher when I did mine a while back when my handbrake didn't want to work :lol:
