Does anyone know how easy they are to perform a DIY job replacing them?

Thats a good price for those.
Brake pads aren't that hard to change although I wouldn't recommend it if you consider yourself a novice. Its kinda important to do them right!

I've done it, and if I can anyone can
It's not difficult - the biggest issues are fiddling with the parking brake on the rear set and making sure you take care of the fluid reseviour. Also you are supposed to use a specialised tool to wind in the back brake pistons, but I just used a G-clamp...
But you need to be careful - they're not the sort of things you want issues with later!

hmmm... sounds tough! So the front ones are pretty straight forward then?

Fronts are ok, two big 17mm bolts can be a bit of a mug to crack & undo. Then pushing the pistons back in can be fiddly - but not impossible
