Actually, I think my brothers 95 stang has that type, not the small drum version the trucks have but the other one mentioned. That may be what that trublu01gt mustang guy was talkin' about. The only hard part about the trucks rear brakes is the e brakes and those damn retaining clips. They are a pain to get on, especially new ones.

 

Dude, the rear disc brakes of this trucks are actually easier than the front. All you need is a 10mm rachet or socket. And a clamp to retract the calipers. The parking brake is not an issue. floating rotor should come out easily if you don't have heavy rust build-up.

Dude, the rust build up on the edge of the rotor is what catches on the parking brake shoes, making it an issue.

 

1)
Will replacing rear rotors on 2003 XLT 4x4 be any different than NON 4x4?

2)
What are the chances REAR original rotors are -rust locked- onto the hub with 51K miles
and living in New Hamsphire with the winter weather?

Should not be any different.

As for the rotors being rust locked...I guess it is a possibility. Get a can or two of liquid wrench and hose them down. Let it sit for 5 min or so and use a rubber mallet to knock them free.

Use some Anti Seize on the hub when you go to put them back on to help prevent them from rusting together again....or you can hit the hub and the back of the rotor hat with a wire brush, prime it with some rust inhibitive primer and paint them with high heat paint.

 

Just did mine today on my 06 and holy crap was that easy! All you need is a 10mm socket, screw driver, and a c clamp. did both sides in 1 hour.
