I was very nervous when my brake pad wear light came on. I've done some mechanicking before, but lately have just brought everything into a shop when it concerned my other cars. I didn't trust my indy with the Porsche though so I attacked the pads myself. It was crazy insane how easy that was. I would have been done in 45 minutes for all four wheels including jacking up each wheel individually except I mixed the pads up. So it took me 75 minutes instead.

Now with my clutch going I was ready to tackle that myself until I saw that I should replace the RMS and IMS while I'm in there. I breifly read the instructions for the IMS replacement and realized that that may be over my head... for now...

If you found the brakes easy and feel you can handle the clutch then you can certainly do the RMS and IMS. I owned my car for exactly a year before I did the clutch and IMS. See my thread from Dec 2011 if you want to see what is required.
Cheers! Hal.
