Changing rear disk brakes

I need new brakes in the rear and I’m not about to pay $100 for something I know is easy as hell... I change my front brakes in my sleep and I was told that the rear brakes are a little different and I just wanted to know if any of you knew of a tutorial that shows you how to do this…

The rears aren't any harder than the front. Compress, remove, replace, decompress.

If your car is a six cylinder, you might have rear drum brakes. It will be a little different.
