new to 4x4

I now have a 2003 4x4 F150 KR. I need to change the front brake pads. I've done this many times on other vehicles including my old truck- 99 F150 2WD. Is there anything different I should know about with the 4x4 set-up before I dive in? Thanks!

They're not really any different on the newer trucks. It's pretty easy, just unbolt the caliper and take the pads out. The rotor will fall off in your hands once you get the caliper out of the way.

Does the rotor contain the wheel bearings? I had a 99 F150 before and it was that way. I had to repack the bearings if I needed to have the rotors turned.
