Changing my rear brakes and....

[stix]

I took off the rear wheel today to look at the brake pads, because i've had some terrible squeks/grinding/screeching etc. The pads are soooo worn, but they're only 6 months old with a "lifetime warranty." hahah, so i got new ones today. i heard changing the rear brakes are a pain, so should i do it myself or have my mechanic do it? i've never done the rear ones before. oh and the rotors are fine :smile:

The only tricky part is the upper control arm (I'm pretty sure that's what it is), it doesn't leave much room for a wrench, at least on my year (95), so you might have to disconnect the outer bolt.  And even then it's not that bad.
