Theirs are no bolts. Ford used two slide pins instead. Just two pieces of steel bent about 120 degrees with a chunk of rubber inside. You will find one in top and one on the bottom of your caliper. To remove them just use a flat bottom punch and a hammer to tap them out. Just make sure that you strike each plate evenly (drive one steel plate 1/8" or so then do the other till it's out) as to not rip them from the rubber that holds them together. Same thing for re-installation, they can be a pain to get started, but if you lightly massage them with a hammer they will go. Be sure to sand or wire wheel the sliders those sit in and ALWAYS anti seize when you reinstall!

When replacing your brake pads on your Ford Explorer, you first need to jack up the vehicle and remove the tire. This will give you access to the brakes. Locate the caliper, remove the two bolts and slide the caliper off. Inside the calipers are the brake pads.

No special tools needed, just the usual: c-clamps, wrenches, ratchet. I believe the caliper bolt is an 18mm, not sure on the slide bolts. I finished in less then an hour the first time I did it.
the caliper bolt should be a 13mm and the bracket or "bridge" bolt should be an 18mm or a 21mm
