How do you get the calipers off the brakes to change the brake pads on a 1996 Subaru Legacy Outback?
You take off the two bolts at the front and rear of the calipers and lift the the caliper up off of the disk. You might have to push the pistons back in a little in order to fit the new pads and get the caliper back on. Use a torque wrench and manual to ensure the right torque on those bolts when re-installing.
How do you change the rear brake pads on a 2003 f350?
I just did mine. Use a screw driver to press the brake pads away from the rotor and compress the caliper pistons back some so you can remove the caliper off of hte rotor. Losen and remove the bolts to the brake caliper. DO NOT DISCONNECT the brake line from the caliper! Get you a c-clamp and a piece of 1/4 board about 4 inches long. Once you have removed the caliper from the mount and removed the brake pads support the caliper with one hand. Place the wood over the caliper pistons and using the c-clamp place it over the wood and center of both pistons and other side of caliper to compress the pistons back into the caliper. Make sure you DO NOT PINCH the rubber boots on the pistons. Once you have compressed the pistons back into the calipers install your new pads and calipers back on the mounting surface and tighten the bolts back to torque specs.

How do you replace rear brake pads for a 2000 mustang V6 with rear disk brakes?
== == == == Loosen wheel lug nuts, jack up and support vehicle, finish removing wheel. Using a 13mm wrench, loosen the two caliper to pin bolts on the back of the caliper. This will release the caliper. Using a screwdriver, pry the caliper up and away from the bracket, the caliper should slide off the brake pads and be free from the bracket. Wire the caliper up and out of the way. Remove the pads. Using the special ford tool, place it on the caliper piston and turn the caliper piston back into the bore with a rachet and extention until it is seated all the way (turn clockwise). The ford tool fits into the notches on the caliper piston. Slide new pads into the caliper bracket, slide the caliper over the new pads and rotor, reattach the 13mm bolts and torque to 25lb/ft. If removing/replacing the rotor, remove the caliper and pads as outlined above, then continue by removing the caliper support bracket using a 15mm wrench on the two bolts holding it to the hub assembly. Remove the caliper bracket, then the rotor should come off. It may require a few taps with a rubber mallet to loosen. When reinstalling the caliper support bracket, torque the 15mm bolts to approx. 90 lb/ft. When reinstalling the wheel, torque lug nuts to approx 95 lb/ft
