If you need a DIY in doing a simple brake job, then I suggest you not to do it yourself.
It is your life and others afterall.
If you don't care about your own life, then consider others life.
Can't stop is more dangerous than can't move.

If you've performed brake jobs in the past the F15 should not be a challenge.

If you cannot find a good DIY for the F15, use another similar vehicle that has a DIY that suits your needs.

If you search this forum you'll find many threads on brake parts/selections/pricing/sources/options.

YouTube has a few on the e70, pretty much the same process. Possible bolt sizes are different, but I doubt it.

I came here looking for torque specs, as that is the more responsible thing to do.
