Rear brake pads?

Any difference in changing the rear pads vs the fronts?

2 less bolts. And there actually is a left and a right outer pad, but the inners are the same.

Don't take the rotors off unless you're going to replace them.

I took them off and had them turned. Why do you say that?

I thought they were really hard to get off...I remember having to use a hammer on them which would destroy them unless you were going to replace them...maybe those are the older f150's...I think this one was 1999'ish.

Just make sure you dont hammer on the friction surface of the rotor. Only hammer near where the lug's are and you wont have any problems.
