Seeking help to change brakes

I want to replace the rear brake pads on my 03 IP Coupe. I got Hawk brake pads. My mechanic wanted $55 for the 1 hour job for what I believe is a simple job. I live in an apt complex and don't have the tools to even attempt to change them. So I'd try my luck on these forums and see if anyone has the tools and aptitude to change for me in exchange for like a 24 pack of beer your choice? Name what you want within reason if your not an alcoholic. If no takers then I'll just fork over the $55 for the brake change.

Thanks,

Good catch. Didn't post. I'm in the 818 area. San Fernando Valley. Willing to drive down to Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, West LA, other close areas around there. Thanks.

$55 is an amazingly cheap price to do your brakes, if that includes machining your rotors, which is something you MUST do everytime you change your pads.
