I found this video very helpful. I also did it like him with rotor in the vise before installing the rotor/caliper back on the truck. Chris makes it look easy in the video but it took me a couple hours to get right.

Now I'm just dealing with leaks which I hope to resolve tonight so I can bleed the brakes on the weekend.
