To replace the rear rotors, after I remove the pads from the calipers do I remove the 19 mm bolt holding the caliper to the disc?
What are the 8 and 10 mm hex head bolts doing- ?holding the caliper together?
What are the torque specs for the 19 mm bolt and the 10 mm hex head bolts?

Yes, by all means don't take the caliper apart! Just undo the bolts holding it to the hub, drop the caliper and then you can undo the philips head screws that hold the rotor onto the hub.

got the caliper off and replaced the rotor, now I can't get the spacer between the back of the caliper and the backside of the bracket, there is soo little room, any advice????

finally got it replaced, the lower spacer on the R side was just tight, the other side went easier, maybe because it was my 2nd time

A Magnet helps to put the spacers in place. The torque on the bolts is 63 ft/lbs

I call the torque max on a 3/8 ratchet or almost max on a 1/2!!!!
