Its not really that hard. I did this upgrade by myself at home. Just pull the old rotors / caliper brackets, swap with the H6 stuff and pop those dust shields off after drilling the spot welds. If you were closer I'd say to come by and we'd get it done with a quickness.

You could always force them to pop off with a prybar then use a grinder to get rid of the excess metal. BUT, it'll be a lot easier with a drill. Have any neighbors you can borrow tools from? Also make sure to use some spray paint where the spot welds were othewise it could start rusting.

They are pretty easy to get off. Take a vise grip on the top side and start bending it. Back and forth, back and forth. It will eventually pop loose once you get the first one off the rest are cake. Grind down the little nubs, shoot a little primer and you good to go.

Finished it earlier today. I used a screwdriver and a mallet like a crowbar 
I still need to flush the fluid out with Motul and bleed the brakes. So freaking tired
