I have a 2005 Ford F-150 and plan on replacing the rear brakes next week. Any Body have any tips on doing this. is it hard and there any special tools i need, and anything i should know

 

Don't have the parking brake on, and the caliper goes back on at an angle

 

Clean and lube the sliders.

 

Use the old pad to compress the piston back into the caliper. Clean all rust off places in contact with the pad etc. Basically, antisieze the contact points and sliders and keep it away from the pad and rotor surface. The rears are a bit easier than the fronts. I'm thinking the new styles the same as the older ones in that a space is given on the caliper to slide a flat screwdriver down and pry the pads out from bieng clamped onto the caliper.
