The hardest part is 26 years of rust. Getting the brake lines loose or the bleeder is a PITA. Soak the heck out of everything with PB blaster everyday for a week in advance. If you can't get the brake line off then you must replace it. Now you have to disconnect it's rusty other end. And on and on.

Good luck and let us know. :)
