Changing front brakes

Hello, new to the board here, but I did use the search feature. Are there any tips on doing the front brakes on a 2000 4x4 F150 5.4. My only previous brake jobs have been on a couple late model camaros, so I was wondering if all disc brakes where pretty similiar to do. I just bought this truck used with 60k miles and it is do for a brake job. Thanks.

Charlie

Nothing special. They are quite easy.

However:

The rotors have a nasty habit of sticking to the hub and not releasing. People have tried slegdehammers, heat and various other ways to get them off. To date, I have not encountered this on my truck.

Knock on wood.
