Snap a few photos with your cell phone before you start and don't skimp on the brake cleaner
Brake parts cleaner is a good idea. Soak it all, and come back a minute later and spray it again closely to get the crud off. The brands are honestly all the same because you don't use much of the rear brakes anyway. Hell, my factory 250 discs have 155k on them and are about half done. The fronts lasted 115k
Watch YouTube videos to get the process down. They're all the same. I'd get a Chiltons or Haynes manual IMHO. They are actually specific to your truck, going over almost step by step how to do things. They are only like $15 and are a good teaching tool
