Default How to replace the rear rotor?

I ordered the Bentley manual but haven't have a chance to pick it up. Can someone send me a step by step on how to replace the rear rotor? I did the front a month or so ago and that was kind a easy with the help from my brother in law.
Unfortunately, I just don't know how to do the rear. I took out the wheel on Sunday and looked at it, I can't figure out which bolts to remove first. Can someone help me?

I don't have a write up but I can tell you this you will need a special tool to wind back the calliper so that you can refit the new pads.

I found out the hard way and spent 2hrs trying to find the tool, and when I did it took just 30min to do both sides.

enjoy...

front and rear brake change

The rotor may have to be persuaded to come off. I used a sledge hammer, because the rotor was rusted to the hub.
