Is it easy to replace the front brakes pads? Any tips? Anything I need to be careful with? It has been a long time since I replaced front pads.

Nothing too scary,don`t bet the pads from Ford though.If you have an independant soares shop near you try them but also get a price from Halfords.You could also try
www.passionauto.co.uk
They do some good deals & if you want some Very good pads get Green Stuff pads.These are a bit more expensive,but lastages and don`t `fade` after heavy use.They also leave less brake dust on your wheels.
Good luck.

I am using the EBC Green stuff pads and discs on both front and back they are great. They stop the car so quickly and with great confidences. I really tested them on Monday. :-D Mine do produce a lot of dust though, but as long as the car is good at stopping that is all that matters.

I've heard alot of good feedback about EBC, might invest in some when I need to change them.

You will need what Ford would describe as a 'special tool' which is no more than a 7mm allen key. The size is a little unsual but will normally come in a socket drive set. Otherwise you can get the standard cranked allen key with long handle in 7mm from somewhere like Halfords.
