Brake Pads

Hello guys, how easy is it to change the front pads on a '99 SWB 120? or is it worth getting a rapid fit type place to do it & how much do you think they would charge?

I ended up doing it myself, couldn't believe how easy it actually was. I'll have to do it again soon as the discs are nearly knackered.
