How tough is it to replace pads on a '97 Mark? I've never worked on a car with ABS. The last time I did a brake job was on a '80 Mark VI sedan that I owned years ago. Any pitfalls I should be aware of or any trick that I could take advantage of?

The fronts are really easy. The rears you need the 'tool' for to pull the rotors. Always replace pads and rotors in pairs at the same time.

Agreed. The rotors are cheap enough -- change them at the same time.


And its very easy overall. 30 minutes per wheel to replace the brake pads and rotors.
