just about to start replacing the front brake pads on my 2002 Ford Explorer and had a quick question. Never did a brake job on a car with ABS, or dual piston calipers....anything special I need to know about compressing the pistons? Should I do them each seperately or at the same time?

easiest way ive done it, is to pull off the caliper, take one pad and set it in the caliper against the pistons and set your C-clamp right in the middle.Itll push em both in just fine.Ive never experienced any other differences between abs and non abs brake jobs, just make sure you dont wreck the abs sensor when you remove the caliper.
