I just bought this Explorer with 4 wheel disc brakes and Im curious to know how difficult it is to pull the brake calipers off to replace the pads and rotors. It dosent need it just yet, but they will need to be replaced eventually.
Some step by step instructions would be nice as well as the tools necessary to do the job.
I did the brakes on my old truck which was a 96 Blazer, and those were extremely easy.
Thanks

Pretty much the same as your Blazer's front pads, but i think you had drum brakes on the rears of the Blazer. The only thing you do differently on rear discs is that you need to turn the caliper piston inward clockwise. You cant compress them like the front disc calipers. I believe you can rent or borrow the rear disc tool for easier assembly. Try autozone for help or questions in detail.

easy job. if you've done it before, it's the same thing. 4 wheel disc brakes are great. brake drums are the tricky ones. plus i have a 2000 ford explorer. (V8 5.0L baby)
