Been planning to replace the parking brake shoes on my explorer axle. It can be done without pulling the axles, but would be much easier doing so. I don't really want to do that. I have read too many horror stories about the retaining bolt breaking off. Anyways, in my searches, I found a good write-up telling how to do it. Easy enough, until the springs. In the reading, I read that you can replace the explorer calipers with mustang calipers. The biggest difference is the mustang caliper doesn't use the internal drum brake for the parking brake. It uses the main pads. Has anyone heard of this or have done it? Planning to go to the pick-n-pull saturday and pull a set from a mustang and put them on an explorer and see what happens. Any other info would be helpful!
