quick rear brake how-to needed...

Hi-
Silly question:
I've never changed the rear pads and rotors on a car with discs...
Do I unbolt the carrier that is attached with the hex nuts or the whole assembly that is attached with the allen-head bolts?
I was going to install my bearing races with a similar sized socket and a hammer. Bad idea?
Anything else I should know before I tackle this tomorrow (sunday) morning?
I should have asked some questions before I did the shocks and struts as well, I ended up removing the entire rear package tray carpet to get at the rear shock bolts... It seemed like the only logical solution.
Thanks!

For this procedure I found that this was even more detailed than my Bentley manual.
