Sure there' an How To on here somewhere, if not someone was talking about doing one...

Pretty easy, you'll, obviously jack up and secure the car from rolling,(Chock it WELL) leave in neutral and handbrake OFF.

You'll need a torch!  Take off the wheels, there is a small hole in the face of the hub, this needs to be aligned to the top / slightly off centre, with the torch peep thru the hole to find the adjuster, this needs to be adjusted right down to to allow the drum / disc to come off...  You'll then need to remove the caliper and carrier to allow the disc to come off.  

As long as you're OK with the above, the rest is a simple reversal, you'll ideally need both rear wheels off the floor together to adjust the hand brake back up evenly. Apply the brake a few times then readjust up...

One hour per side, if all goes well...

Have a look for the how to....
