Brake Replacement How-To

Hi fellow Mustang enthusiasts !


I completely used up my brakes in a solosprint school last weekend and need to change my pads. I couldn't find an how-to section that would help me with the pitfalls of changing brakes. I found Galaxy's section but the links seem all broken...

I am used to changing brakes, but is there something I should know before going ahead ? For example, on my VW I need a special tool to remoce the rear calipers.

Many thanks !

Am I reading the instructions correctly, you have to replace the brake caliper bolts to replace the pads?

Also are there any other tricks, like the anti-squeak on the back of the pads?
