Just Replaced my rear pads and rotors w/ cool Carbons, and BMW Perf Rotors in about an hour total. Had to be one of the easiest brake jobs ive ever done.
1.)Remove 2 pins, and retaining spring,...remove and replace pads.EASY (i replaced the pads with the caliper still mounted.)
2.)Remove 2 16mm bolts from rear of caliper. (I used a std 3/8" Socket set)
3.)Remove Hex bolt holding Rotor onto hub.
4.)Give rotor a few good wacks on the flat part of the hub(The spot thats covered by the wheel when wheel is installed over it) with a hammer, until you see it move a bit.
5.)remove rotor.
6.)Replace w/ new rotor, Fit caliper w/ pads in it and Reinstall 2 mounting bolts. Torque to spec. (I believe 110nm) i also put some locktite on the bolts prior to reinstalling, and I cleaned and greased the pad contact points w. synthetic grease.
7.)Re-mount wheel.

nvm found a post about it. Looks easy enough. hope mine are not torque too hard.
