You could try them wolfe style, easier to load the exercise - esentially doing them in the lat pulldown station while leaning back.
Credit goes to CC for this exercise

Welcome back 1morerep!
I usually do them the way CP was describing there because I mostly do them to help maintain balance around my shoulder joint. I tend to set up the pulley a bit higher than shown.
I did try them recently though with the thumbs closer to me and I felt like I could use more weight but it limited the external rotation.
I usually do sets of 10-15 and I do feel it working my rear delts too.

Face pulls are usually done for the rear delt more than the back, though they can give you a good squeeze in your upper back.
Most people do them in the 10-15 rep range.
One thing that I do that I’ve liked on them (and helps with the whole stability issue) is setting at a pulldown with a bar I can hold with my hands about a foot apart (pronated grip), and leaning back with it and doing pulling to the bridge of my nose.
I don’t know if I’ve heard of anyone doing them primarily for back though.[/quote]
Face pulls are usually done for the rear delts???
Not by anyone with a degree of biomechanics and/or rehab knowledge they aren’t. In fact, done correctly, facepulls shouldn’t even stress the rear delts very much.
What they ARE good for is correcting protracted scapula, weak mid to lower traps and improving rom in the subscapularis.
8-20 reps is fine since you shouldn’t go too heavy on this sort of thing IMO.

Hmm. I stand corrected.
I’ve always seen them listed in shoulder workouts.
I do them with elbows flared way out and a pretty slow rep speed and always feel them in my rear delts.
I was going off what I’d noticed from reading other people’s logs/noticed myself.
I don’t have nearly your level of knowledge/experience though.

It’s cool man. Hey, if CP says that the rear delts are significantly involved in face pulls, then perhaps it is I who needs to re-examine my thinking

I feel like the wider my elbows are and the more I pull ‘apart’, the more I feel rear delts.
