Man, what an excellent post! Well done.

I used a large C-clamp to press the cylinder back, simply because I don't have the brake tool shown.

Really with a little knowledge, a few basic hand tools, an OBDII code reader and an Internet connection most people could solve most issues themselves.

My brother doesn't do any of his own maintenance, he's been in the restaurant business forever. I mentioned at a basketball game one day I'd banged my hand up changing my oil. He said he didn't do any of that stuff always takes it to the dealership. I thought "Dealership!?! Holy crap, that's the last place I'd take my truck." He went on to explain how during the last tune-up they "found a bunch of stuff that needed done, ended up being over $1500." I bet they found stuff alright, in your wallet. I didn't say anything.
