There will be someone along don't worry. If you can be bothered forking out the £35 for a cone compressor it really is an easy job. I did it and that was partly without the use of a compressor. The annoying bit for me was getting the pin out of the top arm, on the drivers side theres a brake union in the way but if I can do it so can you. Getting them in is easy as you can shorten the hilo to get it in. Getting the cups out of the top arm was OK for me but can give trouble, nothing a blow torch won't fix.

There you go, try it yourself. If you suceed you feel good about yourself and it only cost you £35. If you get stuck then there's help at hand. Can't loose.

however if you dont have one of them either then a big screwdriver and hammer usually does the trick lol

I would suggest maybe getting liberal with the WD40 the night before help arives (or before you do it yourself). I didn't need too, the rear trumpets and cones came out OK but hey it won't hurt!
