Haynes manual, Clymer manual? There should be plenty of online guides and youtube videos to follow. It’s straight forward.
Replace the seals? I’d be wanting to determine the general condition of the callipers before jumping in and changing the seals. My 35,000 mile 2004 model is still on the original rubber hoses and calliper seals. Front brake is as good as the day it was new and the rear bake is just as crap as it ever was.
I like a thin coating of red rubber grease on my pistons after I have cleaned em. Stops all the water and road shit getting to the piston, and as a result my brake piston look pretty much new.
For bleeding, I like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-37316-Bl...rake+bleed I just bleed a good bit though each year.
