It"s really pretty easy to do. Pretty self-explanatory when you take it apart. You won"t need a manual or anything like that. You can order discs, linkages, springs, boots and balls, and be way ahead of the game versus OEM (and I like OEM).
When I bought my super H a couple of years ago, my brakes didn"t work even a little bit. I took everything apart, cleaned up the housings, then used a dremel tool to grind away the years of rust and polish clean. I cleaned up the braking surfaces really well with the dremel as well, then used sandpaper to polish it to a just slightly rough surface, but perfectly cleaned and shiny. Don"t sweat any pitting - it won"t matter that much.
When I reassembled, I used dry graphite powder for the balls and ramps, no grease. New linkages with never-seize on the threads. Oh, and just take a rasp and rough up the new pads just a little. Makes "em a little grabbier. My brakes worked like new right out of the gate. Using them keeps them clean and rust free. If they sit, the discs will glaze up with superficial rust just like your car does overnight, but they clean right up first time you use them.
I highly recommend doing it yourself. I got a lot of satisfaction out of it. It"s pretty easy to see really good results.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
