Rear Calipers How-to?

I need to do an emergency rear caliper/pad fix, as my rear ones are seized up badly. Does anyone know of any decent how-to online guide? I don't have very much experience, so hopefully it's not too hard to do for a newb.. Also any key tips would be appreciated ! If not, I'll just document it as I go, then if I figure it out, put up a guide myself. I'll have to go buy tools too, so anything special I need?

Also, i read in the FAQ's about bleeding the brake lines in a specific order, so do I need to actually bleed all 4, or just the back ones? So am I gonna need to take off all the junk on the front end as well to bleed it if nessesary?

Thanks!
James

its easy man, no worries, i just changed my brakes for the first time, wut i did was just lok around the caliper and see how it was held on and unscrew them, i used the 17mm bolts (2 on each wheel) just take those off, but u need a special tool to compress the piston in the caliper, go to autozone and "rent" one, it was like $40 or so, they will tell u how to use it, its easy though, there is a write up no it too in the FAQ section..
