Thanks for all the input! I really appreciate it. On the surface it seemed pretty straight forward, but then it definitely gets more complicated the further you go in (naturally) since you're pretty well 95% there just doing the rotors and pads that you might as well repack the wheel bearings.
That said, the descriptions for doing that in the FSM seem WAY more involved than I would have imagined, i.e. presetting the bearing race properly with enough "drift" and some other specific tests according to the FSM. So do you need an actual press to re-install the bearings, or do things snug up the way they should once everything is pieced back together and you start to tighten down the wheel bearing locknut to the appropriate torque level?
I guess with doing stuff out of the comfort zone that really is feasible is kinda like jumping into cold water; get over the shock and just start swimming!
