How do you check if the calipers are OK or not?
Yes, you can replace just the rears. They just always have to be replaced in pairs. (both front or both rear, never just one rotor)

Look for wear on the rotors and pads, if one pad is thicker than the other in one of the calipers, then you have a stuck or dragging piston. I had this happen on my SD and replaced the rear calipers...the new ones work MUCH better.
