OK, so you know how to do pads and rotors whech means you have had the calipers and brackets off... As long as the dust shields are not crispy, that and bleeding is all there is until they are crispy, or they are leaking.

You can pop off the dust seals to make sure the seals aren't leaking.

You did the lines without a set of brake line wrenches didn't you. A classic mistake many have made once. Now go to Harbor Freight and pick up a set of them for both english and metric so you never do it again.
