Russ,

It all depends on how you define a brake job. If the rotors are A-OK, then just doing a pad swap can be done in few minutes. To rebuild the calipers or change the rotors requires a few more hours of work, easier with access to a lift, but can be done on your back with the car on stands. Somewhere in my archive I have a short cut procedure for doing this job. I'll look around to see if I can find it and send you a copy if you like.

PS - In all honesty however, dropping the whole rear end assembly gives you gobs of room to work on it.
