Default First Time doing Brakes - tips?

About to tackle the rear brakes on my '94. This is the first time I've done any brake work. I have the parts (EBC OEM rotors, Akebono pads, fluid, brake cleaner). I have read to open the bleeders when I push back the pistons and have read up on the bleed procedure for the Teves III.

Is there a good write up somewhere? Any hints? Any pitfalls to avoid?

its easy, make sure you have the proper Torx Socket head..

If you have ever replaced rear brakes with the built in parking brake its identical.. the only issue I found was the car had to be cranked and running to bleed the brakes.
