    Did the front ones a couple weeks back - went pretty smoothly.

    Now it's time to do the rears, and I'd appreciate any/all hints from the
    group at large on how to proceed. Beyond the expected 'remove tire, caliper & bracket,
    rotor, 4 mounting bolts....' is there anything else I should be aware of?

    Thanks in advance.
