Question Akebono Install DIY or Pay?

For those who upgraded their brakes to Akebono:

What difficulty would you rate the install? How much did you pay for the install? I can do most DIY's myself. (Oil changes, Tranny/Diff fluid, sway bars, strut bar, Intakes, Exhaust, etc.)

Only thing I didn't try doing myself was Coilovers and HFC's.

I've changed pads and rotors before and it's pretty simple. That's for my non-akebono's though. I feel like it's different when you remove brakes that are in front of you and you can easily tell how to put it back. This will be a little different since I'll be putting on a new set of brakes.

My main concern are the brake lines and bleeding.. Never done either and I'm assuming the brake lines use the same mounting locations? I can ask a friend to help me with the bleeding... Might consider purchasing a motive power bleeder...

Do you guys think I can tackle this alone within 5 hours?

I've researched how to do it and I'm mainly going to follow this DIY (Don't need the bracket):
