Did you get sorted TL? They shouldn't be too bad to do. I've done a few Hope brakes and they've been amongst the easiest. Drop me a PM if you need any pointers. Just have the following to hand and you'll be sorted:
Rubber gloves (brake fluid is nasty stuff)
Some rags or kitchen roll (as above)
DOT 4 or 5.1 fluid (5.1's got a higher boiling point)
6mm spanner for bleed nipple (could be an 8mm)
Having someone to pull the brake lever whilst you open the bleed nipple helps, not essential though.
Good luck!

generally they shouldnt
its when you come to change the pads that they might as the pistons will/might need to be reset
or general maintenence
or if they feel spongy
but as i said, once its done properly on a sealed system (brakes) it should last a good while
