brake pad replacement

I have a 97 passport, 4x4, 4wheel disc. It's time to replace my rear pads and was wondering there is any special tools or if it is a straight forward pad swap. I know that some vehicles require some extra large torx or ? I just haven't looked at it and I can't find my repair manual. Thanks for the help.

If I remember correctly- the rear calipers are a little funky on the <1998's. The pistons have to be rotated into, not compressed into the caliper bore. The threaded, rotating pistons have something to do with the parking brake actuation.

Yeah. The piston compresses straight in. This is a super easy job. You don't have to pull both pins to change the pads, but you ought to, and lube them really well. Don't forget to crack the lid on the master cylinder before compressing the piston.

I'm mixing up a trooper vs. a rodeo :screwy: . I did rears on a pre 1998 troop that had the thread in caliper pistons. Kinda takes you by surprise.

One question for gurus. When I change my 95 2WD rodeo brake pads, the 2 pins from the caliper were different. One with a black rubber ring on top of the pin, another one without it. May be I lost it? Is there any harm to the brake or caliper?

Thanks,
