Well i replaced my front brakes this weekend and i have to tell you it was "to easy". I removed the tires and 2 1/2" bolts from each caliper, pulled off the calipers, opened the bleeder and squeezed the pistons in using one of the old pads then removed the pads, Put on the adhesive and reinstalled the pads SIMPLE!!!!!!!wAAAAay to simple and they work well. Someone on here told me it was a 40 torx and it is not for the 97 it is a 1/2" bolt. Could it really be this simple,,,,,,,,,YES it can. Thanks FORD....................................

Beware of new pads on nonsurfaced rotors. They may warp on you.
