Default Proper Brake Install

So I have a brand new brake rotor, brake hose, and caliper with pads that i'm getting ready to put on. Stupid question but what is the best way to do the install. These Fords are messin with my head since I was mainly a Chevy guy.

Here's a little how to for the front rotor and pads. The backs are pretty straight forward.

Make sure you lube the floating pins with brake pin lube.

Change your brake fluid while you are at it!
Its one of my pet peeves because no one has a service interval for it.
Replace every two years or every year if you tow or haul stuff.
