Default Rear disc brakes

Can anyone point me to info on doing rear disc brakes. I did mine but it seems ofawly hard to turn the tires now by hand. How tight should they be. Just want to check and see if I did it right.

Cheers

By the time the rear pads need replacement, the calipers, brackets and hardware need to be replaced as well. The right way to do them is to install remanufactured loaded complete calipers with the bracket and hardware. Bolt 'em on, bleed 'em out... done. Anything less and you'll be replacing parts until you've eventually replaced everything, cheaper, faster and easier just to do it all at once.
