Should I attempt my first brake service or pay the price?

So my X5 needs front pads and rotors and Meneke of course wants an outrageous amount of $800 but it was throwing in brake fluid flush which I can have them do a little later on. But roughly $700 for just front? Seems crazy. Is it easy to replace front brakes on X5? Should I try it myself. Sure i could save atleast $300-400. Any advise guys? I have done some work myself like water pump thermostat and belts. So I'm not a complete noob. Please help need to do this ASAP as the brakes are grinding
