Rear pads and calipers, no sweat, same as any other vehicle except taking off Two tires.
Rotor on the other hand, HOLY !!!
Pull the axle shaft, then outer bearing (held on with huge nut) and then remove Rotor/Hub Assembly as one 60lb piece. Then the rotor unbolts from the back of the assembly, without getting dirt down in the bearings, which would mean removing them as well. I put the whole assembly on two jackstands and worked from underneath them so dirt would fall to the ground.
Then bolt new rotor hub on and re-install. Torque huge nut to proper spec. and slide axle shaft in before you can put new caliper and pads on.
Thank god for 3/4" drive - think I may need an impact gun next.
Just over 3 hours last night to do one side.
