shouldnt be too bad. they ar either drum or disc. disc is the easyest. just remeber how it came apart and that is 9/10 of the battle.

Thats it exactly. I am good at taking things apart but not putting it back together. I was told from someone that I need a special tool to compress springs or something??? Diceman

If it's a disk brake you shouldn't need anything special. Just squeze the piston with a channel lock.
Use a digital camera and take pictures as you take it apart. Then you can look at the pics to put it back together.

if its disc it will be the old cam style mechanical disc like on the older bigbears.
shouldnt need any special tools. penetrating oil pliers hammer screwdriver sockets set and vise grips should be all you need to get-er-dun. use a buddys digital camera or a poleroid to take pics of it as you disassemble it to make it easyer to put back together.
after looking at the parts breakdown online it is the exact same as the older bigbears. mechanical disc brakes on rear. there is an exploded view in the parts finder link at top of page. wouldnt take me more than an hour to do, probably a lot less.
