Rear rotor replacement

I was looking for a DIY guide on rear rotor replacement. I find a lot of posts about the fronts, not so much on the rear. Anyone have a link to a guide or video?Thanks!

It's pretty straight forward from what I remembered when I was replacing a rear stud.

I reused the same torque specs as the fronts for the rears.

1. Remove wheel
2. Remove caliper and pads (hang or have something that will hold it up instead of having it dangle)
3. Remove rotor (I used a screw into one of the holes on the rotor to push it off)

No need to take off axle nut from what I recalled.

2.5 - Make sure e-brake is fully released, you'll never get it off if the e-brake is engaged at all.

The worst one though was working on the rear UCA and not dropping the ebrake. Nothing would line up no matter how much we pulled. Released it with my buddy under the car and the the pieces whipped back so hard from the built up tension and buzzed a couple inches from his head lol
