To change the front brakes on a 2000 Ford Explorer, start by lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the front wheel and then take off the caliper by unscrewing the caliper bolts. Slide the caliper off the brake rotor and remove the old brake pads. Install the new pads, reattach the caliper, and then replace the wheel. Finally, pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure proper pad seating before lowering the vehicle.
