W126(85 380SE) rear rotors and pad repalcement
I will need to do the rear pads very soon and will also put on new rotors, since Im' not sure how long its been since rear pad change. My indie told me I have about 30% pad left on the rear and the car has 97K miles so its probably time to do the new rotors.
Anything particular I should know about removing the rear rotors as its been awhile since I did a brake job and never on a MB( just on a TR-6 and Honda Civic) thanks in advance for tips and advice.

Don't set the parking brake. Otherwise, it's like the front brakes.

Why don't you check the thickness first? Rears don't see quite as much action as the fronts do. Save your money for when you have to do the balljoints (in about 20-40k miles)
