Rears done as well now...
It only took 3 hours for the rears, including caliper clean and paint.

It would have been less than that, but I struggled getting the driver side rotor off the hand brake pads.
It came off in the end though, with lots of wiggling and jiggling.

Project complete

I borrowed a 280Nm makita impact wrench from work...WOW!
how easy was it to take off road wheels, and even the brake carrier bolts!
I need to get me one of these
