How do change front brake pads?

93 F150 2 wheel drive, changing front brake pads, how do you remove the caliper, there are what looks like v shaped pins, don't see any bolts like a gm holding caliper on. Are these pins to be knowcked out or what is the procedure to replace the pds and rotors



Thanks

How do change front brake pads?
knock out the pins then reverse procedure with new pins when installing can re-use old pins but......why chance it
You take a pair of pliers and squeeze the pin together, while tapping it out with a hammer. It might help to squirt a little WD on it first.
Knock out the 2 caliper pins, remove the caliper, push the piston back in, replace the brake pads, install the caliper, knock the 2 pins back in.
take a hammer and someting that you can push them through with. just bang them through with the hammer and a big flathead screwdriver is what i used on my 91 F150 and just wiggle off the caliper and remove.....make sure u open up the caliper with a big C Clamp so when the new pads are installed u can get it back over the rotor. when done just bang the clip back through the holes from the front back to where they sat originally
