Default rear brake replacement

I am going over to help a non-mech friend do the rear disc brakes (new rotors/pads) on his 2006 Grand I-6, AT (I guess that is a WK model). May also do a brake fluid flush with my Mity-Vac whilst we are at it. My experience is mostly with GM and a couple foreign makes and I have never worked on a Jeep product before. So I just wanted to check with you guys to see if there is anything peculiar about the WK rear setup that I should know ahead of time. For instance I assume studs are in hubs and rotors just slip on over studs? Anything else of interest or that needs particular attention?

Thanks,
Ray

its pretty much your usual standard brake setup. nothing abnormal, goofy, or "why the hell did they engineer that like that"

Just done break the bleeders try to bleed the brakes.

I usually ride the e-brake a little to remove any rust that will prevent the rotor from coming off the e-brake shoes. It helps a little. You'll be alrighty.
