Firstly, get the Haynes or whatever (better) manual. Can't speak for the CV joints as I haven't done them, but the entire braking system is easy to do - pads/discs (on my 9000 - didn't the 900 inherit the 9k brakes, or was it later than this?) and didn't require special tools. Rear brakes on the 9k were more fiddly but doable. -- Regards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) http://www.dannyscoffee.com (UK advert for my mobile espresso service) swap Z for above characters in email address to reply
