2002 rear brakes
I'm going to replace the rotors and pads on my daughter's 2002 4WD Explorer on Friday. I've done rear disks on other cars, but never on the Explorer. I've been told that, unlike most rear disk set ups, you do not have to turn the piston back into the caliper cylinder--it can be pushed in by opening the bleed screw. Is this correct? Also, are there any "heads-up" that I should be aware of? Anyone know the torque values for the caliper bolts? She has OEM cast wheels; does anyone know the torque value for the lug nuts?
I normally post on the 73-79 truck forum, where I've received valuable info re. my 1976 F350 supercab, camper special. Thanks in advance

no you dont need to screw the pistons back, and yes it is best to open the bleeder before pushing the piston back, then you wont push the old fluids back up the system..
Torque for the aluminum wheels 75-80ft/lb, caliper bolts 10deg past bedded. dont have my book handy....for ft/lb, make sure you lube slides and use antiseize on bolts..
