What tools do you need to remove the brake pads on a 1995 Mercury Villager?

Many Ford and Mercury models have 'Torx' or 'star-bit' type bolts which you will need a special socket (or screwdriver, if you're a gorilla) to remove. These are available from automotive stores, or Seers-type department stores. Also, a C-clamp is handy to push the piston back into the caliper (so you can fit the caliper and new brake pad assembly back on to the rotor). A good socket set and a set of screwdrivers are also required.

How do you remove the rear head on a mercury 1997 villager?
This is difficult at best. The easiest way, if you have the equipment, is to just remove the engine from the vehicle. It can be done in the car, too, but will require some dexterity. A lot depends on what kind of tools you have. Getting the exhaust loose will be one of the toughest parts. I'd strongly suggest you invest in a shop manual off eBay or something like that.
