Why do you need front brakes?
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.

Front brakes or back> front is really simple, when you take the caliper off, the caliper is held on with 2 1/2 bolts... the rotor will come off if your going to replace that to, it will slide off the spindels when the caliper is removed... put the new pads in place and slide the caliper back on and put the 2 bolts back in to hold the caliper in place.
Why does the front chamber of brake master cylinder keep going down when the back stays full?
The front and rear brakes are a separate system on most vehicles since aprox 1968. One bowl feeds the front and the other bowl feeds the rear. You have a fluid leak somewhere, have it checked out. The front (usually larger) bowl supplies the front brakes, the rear bowl supplies the rear brakes. Check the front brake system for leaks immediately, these are your primary power for stopping. It should also be noted that front brakes, typically disk brakes, due to wearing over time will cause the fluid level in the front reservoir to drop. This will occur over months or years and is normal and acceptable as long as the level remains above minimum and below maximum. Any time sudden fluid level drops are experienced, a leak is indicated and should be repaired immediately.

When you replace your front brake pads should you also replace your rears?
Usually the rear pads or brake shoes depending on whether or not the back brakes are disc or drum brakes will last 2 times longer the the front brakes. 75% of your braking is done by the front brakes. For example, if you have 60,000 miles and your front pads need to be replaced the rear ones will only be about 1/2 worn out.

Do you have to replace the back brake shoes if you change front pads?
No. You will only need to replace the brake shoes if they are worn down. Generally the front brakes do 70% of braking leaving the rear with 30%, which will cause the front pads to wear first. What is important however is that you replace either front brakes or rear brakes as a set. i.e. if you're replacing the front brakes do the right and left side.
