2003 Ranger Edge Front Brake Pads Replacement
Is the replacement of the front brake pads pretty straight forward on these trucks? I asked because I've never done anything brake related on a vehicle with an Anti-lock Braking System. I just bought new Wearever Gold MKD-833 pads from Advance Auto and an AmPro T71899 disc brake pad spreader.
I don't do any kind of high performance driving or have any power adding mods to the truck so performance pads were not necessary being that this is my daily driver.
I live in an apartment complex where working on vehicles is forbidden and also I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to doing things like this myself anymore. If replacement is straight forward and I don't have to mess with anything else after the pad replacement the I'm sure I could knock it out fairly quickly at a DIY shop on our local air force base.

Got the pads changed today. I've seen worse pads than these. They were unevenly worn on the right front side. The three inch C-clamp I got from Sears wasn't big enough, but the DIY shop have a bigger one that I used. Also, it turns out that the previous owner must have turned the rotors before as they were too thin to turn.

This caliper pistons were out pretty far.
