most of the braking is done at the front so replace the pads up front if they need it, and check the back just in case.

I've upgraded my front brakes but the rear shoes are still years old.

You can take one wheel off at a time then start it to turn the steering. Stay well clear while you do it. You don't have to change the rears at the same time, that is nonsense.

The rears come out by sliding the pins out. Not got time to do a tutorial but this might help;

Take your time and work safely. Always press the brake a few times after changing the pads to push them back up to the discs.
