Hi,
Replacing rear brake pads and rotors really isn't too hard. If you do it yourself, make sure to get lifetime parts so you won't have to pay for them again in the future. Also, you can expect rear brake pads to last approximately 30,000 miles. However, that varies based on driving habits and terrain.
To start, here is a link that shows in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

Next, here is a video showing it being done on a Dodge Nitro. Although it is a different vehicle, the procedure is similar.
