I recommend buying a haynes manual or something that can show you step by step. I have a 2wd 1992 f-150 and i don't remember it taking more than 20 minutes to replace the pads and rotors, i don't remember the exact steps though. Just make it look the way it looked when you took them off. As for it pulling to the right, you may have a seized caliper piston or sliders. Did you lube the hardware with antiseize when you put it back together?

yes i did. But what i think the problem was when we and my brother put the pads on last month I suspect that we didn't put the rattle clips on right. Also I here Raybestos seems like a popular name brand on here. Maybe I should go with them??????
