I have 2 98 Explorers and have had to change the parking brake pads in both (they look like and go tegether like the old drum brakes). The first one I did at the same time I changed the rear axel seals so the shoes were a piece of cake (just like changing drum brake shoes) the other explorer I worked around the axel and that was a real pain. Ford sells the brakes and the plate and all the hardware already assembled all you have to do is remove the axel and the cable. I would do it that way if I have to do it again. It may sounds like alot of work but it was easier in the long run. plus the hardware on both was rusted so I replaced it also.
