1991 300D brakes.

I am an avid DIYer, unfortunately I've never done a brake job. I have the rear rotors and pads ready. How simple/difficult will this task be? I'm looking to start in the next 30 minutes. Any helpful tricks or tips will be greatly appreciated. Just in case I didn't mention...I am replacing the rear rotors/pads. Please remember, I have no experience with brakes, I've never trusted myself to do them.

Doing this safety related job without reference to factory procedures is foolish.

I bet you didn't know that bolts holding calipers to hubs are to be replaced, i.e. not reused.

Ok, I will admit, I didn't know this. Why is that? Is that for all Mercedes?
