As others said, it is more fussy than tricky. IME the rotors were not rusted on like the fronts. I purchased a "cross beam" combination wrench for the rear caliper bolts, as there really isn't clearance for a socket and breaker bar and the torque needed will kill your hand if you use a straight box or combination wrench. You need a regular style allen wrench for the caliper pins because (again) there isn't enough clearance for a ratchet and hex bit, at least not for both of the pins.
Once you have the rotor off, take a good look and see how to adjust the shoes, it's a lot easier if you know exactly what you're trying to do through that little access hole than if you are just guessing and hoping. Why do I know that?
Make sure to follow the parking brake adjustment procedure exactly. The 9-5 parking brake works marginally well when everything is just right, and poorly if not.
