Have the correct tools to push the rear pistons in. Check rotor thickness and condition.

crack the bleeder when you compress the piston so you don't push gunk back into the hydraulic control unit.

whats up with the rear calipers they look like they have a bolt with a nut on the other side does this require any special tools?

The pistons of the rear calipers must be tuned clockwise while pushing the piston in. Sears has a universal tool to do the job.

Should be pretty straight forward, if you are going to do work yourself you should pick up a bently manual, they're invaluable.
