Replacing the rear rotor can be simple to someone who does a lot of 850s. To the uninitiated it can be a real challange because the drum brake needs to be loosened a lot before removing the rotor. If the mechanic 'forced' the rotor off, he could have broken a shoe hanger so that it now falls down on the drun.

Find a 'rough' road and when the chirping noise begins, pull up lightly on the brake handle and see if the noise goes away. If so, take it back to the shop and ask them to fix it.

As a rule of thumb, when the rear rotors need to be replaced, I always replace the brake shoes for an additional $20.
