Help with Brakes for Free lunch in Alexandria

I'm getting new pads and rotors for my mini, and I just can't convince myself to pay $200 minimum for someplace to put them on for me. Problem is, I've done it once before a few years ago on a friend's car, so I'm not 100% confident doing it on my own. !Plus, I don't have the tool for the rear piston or a wrench big enough to remove the bolt on the rotors. If someone has these tools and wouldn't mind helping me out one afternoon, I'd glady buy you lunch (and/or beer!). Thanks

Where in Alex? I work in Crystal City and live in Gainesville....I could loan you the rear caliper tool...when are you trying to do the work? I've got a tattoo appointment tomorrow (sat) @ around 2pm.....

My wife convinced me to just go and get it done along with wheel/tire balancing, but thanks, that would've been great.
