Question rear brakes

I've decided I'm going to replace my rear brakes myself (I am going try at least). I've never done this before.

Is it real difficult?

My haynes manual has a step by step instuction, so hopefully that will help. It says nothing about bleeding the brakes. Do I have to do that?

My pads came with some lubricant. One is orange, the other is brown. What are they for? (I assume one is anti squeal and the other may be high temp grease). Where do they go?

My rotors are 3 years old, should I even take them off and get them resurffaced? Where could I get that done?



More questions to come?

Also, if anyone knows of a good brake change write-up, let me know. I could use all the help I can get.


thanks,
marc
