Okay thanks. I will keep the alignment shims in mind.

As far as doing the work myself, I don't have that much confidence. (As an additional excuse, I had hand surgery from an accident where I cut off a thumb and had it reattached-don't ask! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />) and I have limited use of one hand.

Of course tonight the brakes made no sound at all and gave no sign of a problem,<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> but they weren't hot like last night.
