I'm certain this has been brought up numerous times before, but I'm unable to search comprehensively and my perusal of the FAQs didn't reveal the info I need. I'd like to hear from those who are knowledgeable on the 5th Gen brake system, specifically the rears. I intend to change the rotors (Brembos) and pads (Hawks) at all four corners this weekend. I know how to do the fronts without a problem, but the rears have me thinking:

1. Do you have to rotate the caliper pistons to retract them back into the caliper?
2. If so, can you describe in which direction they must be turned?
3. Does the parking brake cable need any consideration other than just working around it?
4. Any other pointers in doing a total brake job on the 5th Gen?

Thanks in advance.
