I have an '05 f-150 that i'm having a problem with. I'm trying to change the rear brake pads and am having a heck of a time getting the caliper off. The pads are sort of locked in to the caliper and after removing the bolts I still can't get the caliper off to change the pads. It seems locked to the rotor and won't budge. I'd really appreciate any assistance

You should push the pistons back in befor you remove them. Use a large flatblade driver, and put it in the center hole in the caliper, then use the edge of the rotor to pry the piston back in. Then you will have the free clearance to remove it!

Merlin, thanks for the reply. I couldn't figure out how to reply the correct way. Just wanted to say thanks for the info. I'll try that as i'm ready to begin the work again now. Just a bit frustrated earlier and had to walk away.
Thaks again
