any good info on how to change the brake pads in my 92 5.0

the brake pads i got are 100% shimmed

so any detail instruction on how to remove the brake pads, take off the rotor so i can get it machined and then put everything back together again???

i would say to buy new ones, its super easy, take the wheels off there are two bolts in the top and bottom of the back side of the caliper remove them, the caliper comes off, i am pretty shure there either 13mm or 15mm but i wanto say 15 for some reason, pull the pads out spread never sieze over there the pads slide, and get the calpier compressor tool from your local parts store, (about 7$). put the tool in the notches on the piston of the caliper and use a 3/8 ratchet w/ a 2in extention and hold the caliper and turn the piston in to the right so it compresses the piston to allow the new brake shoes room to fit around your rotor, and then put it back together.. if your rotors are all grooved up i would just get now ones, there not that expensive... any other q's let me know!

Thats seems like a different setup. To get he brake pads off you need some torx bits. I cant remember the size but its in the 40s. To get the rotor off you have to remove the center nut under the dust cap and remove all the bearings. The best thing to do would be to find a shop that has an on-car brake lathe. Its much more accurate and you dont have to remove the bearings.
