Need Rear Brake Install Help!!

I've got my rear brakes apart, but am a bit unclear on how the pads and all the clips go together. Can anyone point me to a good tech article or an FAQ? I've been searching and searching with no luck.

I can compare to the other side, which is still all together, but I would LOVE some written instructions.

Thanks!

I finally managed to get my rear brakes done. New pads and rotors on.

Took me a while to figure out how to move the big piston back (you turn it).

Getting the new pads in with the limited space and my big hands was VERY tricky, but I got it eventually.

Everything works great now, nice quiet braking, no dragging, calipers releasing well (apparently).

Only problem I have left is that my e-brake doesn't work. Anyone know how to adjust it?

in the middle there next to your e-brake you can pull up the cover. next to the handle there should be an adjusting 10mm bolt for the cable, just tighten that. At least that worked for me.
