Re: brake problems???? You could go all the way and install some stainless steel brake lines while you're at it. 
It really isn't that hard, all you have to do is remove the wheel. Then remove the caliper and clip(it's obvious), and then you can pull the rotor off. When you remount everything, make sure you torque to 100 Ft-lbs for evertyhing to be seated correctly. Good luck.

Re: brake problems???? I'd just replace the pads and rotors and bleed the brakes. You'll get 90% of the benefits of braided lines without any of the headaches. Much of the improvement that is seen by switching to braided lines comes from bleeding the brakes after the installation and has little to do with the actual lines (I said "little", not "nothing"). Another problem with braided lines is that they trap dirt and grit and can potentially fail if not cleaned and inspected often (no problem on a race car...not likely on a street car). Just my thoughts.
