I don't know if you use one, but if you need pics of an impact driver, I have one in the garage somewhere. Makes getting that damn screw out a lot easier.

I never considered brake work difficult enough to need a write-up, but if other people need it, go for it.

How advanced are you planning on doing it? I'm comfortable doing brake swaps, but I'd like to hear about some of the advanced techniques I'm sure you've developed, and that most people probably overlook:
Bleeding the system, shimming, re-torquing lugnuts, replacing fluid, measuring/re-surfacing rotors.

Keep in mind most 92+ came with rear drums, so you'd have to decide how to address that issue, if you can address that issue, I think it would make the howto the most useful.

I have an impact driver as well.
One of my favorite tools to be honest.
