Any hints on brake pad replacement?

RE: Any hints on brake pad replacement?
Well, I'm halfway done. Saturday went slowly and I didn't have as much time to work on the car as I expected, plus I needed to run to NAPA to get front brake rotors since they were shockingly worn and needed replacement as well. Once I had all the parts/tools I needed it went smoothly. Just a bigger version of Miata brakes, really. I had to use a BFH to get the old rotors off the hub though....the car grew up in the East so there are some rust issues.
I have work off today so I'm tackling the rear this afternoon. I looked at those rotors and they don't need replacement so it's less work this time.

^Yes. There is a change in the design.
For 850s, the rear pads and rotors are EASY, but I hear its slightly more difficult for newer cars because they changed up the brakes...
Edit:
Found you some instructions.
