What does a brake caliper look like?
It looks like a hydraulic clamp. When hydraulic pressure is applied with the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the disc brake pads to the disc brake rotor to stop rotation.
How do you tell the difference between Rear Drum Brake and Rear Disc Brake?
If you can see the brake caliper and rotor, then it has disc brakes. If all you see is a large drum then it has shoes. If you can see the front brakes thru the wheels, you can identify disc brakes. If the rear look like the front, then they are also disc brakes. However if the rear look much different, then chances are they are drum.
Are the rear brakes for a Cadillac Catera drum or disc?
Disc. Remove the wheel. Look on the backside of the caliper and you will see the bolts that hold it. Pretty much the same as any other.
Why wont the caliber go in on bake brakes of a 2005 mustang when changing the brakes?
You need a rear disc brake caliper tool set for this job. A pair of needle nose pliers can work also, but damage to the caliper is likely, if you're trying to get it done in a hurry.These rear calipers cannot be compressed with a clamp like the front calipers can be.The piston actually screws into the caliper. Again, look for a disc brake caliper tool set. Harbor Freight Tools sells a $20 kit that will do the job.

How do you replace brake pads on 2002 ford explorer?
FRONT BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT Jack up vehicle and remove the wheel. before removing the caliper , be sure to depress the piston into the bottom of its bore in the caliper with a large C- clamp to make room for the new pads. look behind the caliper and you should see two bolts holding the caliper on. remove the bolts, "DO NOT REMOVE THE BRAKE LINE", the caliper should pull free from the caliper mounting braket. DO NOT LET THE CALIPER HANG BY THE BRAKE HOSE". Separate the brake pads from the caliper mounting bracket." Remove the steel slippers from the upper and lower parts of the caliper mounting bracket. After doing the above You should be done with removal to install follow the above steps in reverse. The rear brakes are the same as the front brakes to replace. However the rear brake disc is also a disc / drum that houses the parking brake pads. The parking brake pads are behind the brake disc. you will have to pull the disc off to get to these brake pads. The removal of the parking brake pads requires more time and is a bit more difficult to replace. I would inspect the parking brake pads before removal and replace them only if needed.

Why did the disc brake on the front driver's side wear out a lot faster than the disc brake on the front passenger's side?
sounds like you have a stuck brake caliper on the dirvers side. You may have a bad rotor on that side. A warped rotor would cause the disc brakes to wear out quicker. A new rotor is usually cheaper than getting one turned; usually between $20 to $40. Your caliper is sticking pushing the brake pad out. Look to see if brake hose is twisted. Had samething drove me nuts changing things saw the hose took the twist out. Have not had the same problem since, been 8 months.Bill
