There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I can tell you the wheel doesn't have to come off. The rest of the steps my dealer handles.
I heard Bob D did his own, which means pretty much anyone can

Teddy is really good at searching for things & he found this for you ................
Sorry, but I dont have the repair manual in front of me, and I dont want to tell you something incorrectly, so if you do a search for REAR BRAKE INSTALL (or something similar) you will get many threads discussing this issue, and you may have to do a little reading, but you should easily find all the info that you need:thumbup:
Teddy did just that, and found this one that you may find helpful

Threads..!!
check previous threads and DIY threads there are demos. You do not have to remove the rear wheel. Just the caliper, compress the piston and remove the pads. There are some clips you have to watch out for they do pop out..a manual would be helpful as well. Green manuals online about twenty bucks..good luck..:thumbup:

It's a very do-able process (even I managed it without putting out an eye!)
you have to unbolt the "stuff" that hold the parking brake cable on; note how all of that stuff looks, and how it was put together...
remove the caliper from it's mounting brackets
I believe that there's a couple of little screwed-in "nubbies" that hold the pins in place; pop them out, po the pins out, and you're more than halfway home...
YOu'll want to push the pistons back in a little bit once you've got the new pads in place; that'll give you the space to get the caliper back over top of the rotor...
Snug the caliper back down onto it's brackets, and then you just need to replace the parking brake bits...
