Rear calipers are not cheap!! They are relatively easy to replace. You might have to drop the driveshaft so you can loosen the e-brake cable in order to get enough slack in the line. Other than that, just take everything off and make sure you don't drain the resovoir. Get new rotors and pads since you have everything apart. Its not rocket science, just take your time.
