Not hard to do. This is basically the same drum/disk arrangement as many bmw models (e30, e36, z3, m3 etc...) . I put the Pelican articles for the e30.

Note: The star adjuster for the ti is at ~12 o clock where the e30 is is clocked differently, but the process is the same...

Forgot to mention that the spring that holds the shoes against the adjuster is a bitch to remove. The Bentley manual says to use dikes to grab it, that is what I did and it sucked. The pelican article says to pry out the adjuster which is probably a much better way to go.
