There is nothing special about changing brakes with ABS. Just be careful
not to mess up the wheel sensors or the wires to them. Why do you want to
change the rotors? If they're not warped or deeply gouged from running the
pads to the bare metal, you should be able to simply replace the pads.

 If one rear rotor is rusted, you either have a bad caliper or the slide pins
are seized inside the caliper frame. Check the rusty rotor. If it is just
rusted on one side, then the caliper is stuck and can not float to center
itself on the rotor and only one pad is making contact with the rotor.
Remove the pins and either clean and lube or replace. Plan on replacing the
rubber boots that go on the pins.
