Rears are tricky to change the pads and Rotors because they require a 7mm allan key ( not always in a set of metric keys as they go 6,8,10 in size). Rear piston requires to be screwed back not pushed because its part of the handbrake arrangement. Don't buy ford rotors as they are soft and wear such that most people replace them when the pads wear out.

marg99 couldn't have said it better. Don't use OEM Ford Rotors, most people go aftermarket DBA or RDA rotors for better life.
The rear piston wind back tool can be found in post 9 in this thread: http://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11319941 |
