Update on rears....
Because just changing the pads doesn't require caliper removal, replacing the rotor is a bit more work. The calipers mount with two 16mm bolts similar to the fronts.
Once they are off the rotor is nearly the same. If your parking brake is dragging or catching on the lip, use the star adjuster to wheel it back in. See the parking brake adjustment thread.
My rears were pretty rusted and it took me much longer than the fronts. With lots of PB Blaster, rubber mallet blows, and swearing they came off. I almost gave up partway through and was about to leave it for my mechanic, but putting it back together this far along seemed like too much work with nothing to show for it.
Agreed, this thread ought to be a sticky.
