Help Me With My Brakes

[D60]

There is a special tool to compress the spring pins and drive them out of the caliper on those old Fords. The listing says its for 86-88 but it fits up to 95 when they started with the bolt on calipers. https://www.otctools.com/products/ford-caliper-pin-remover

Crazy, I never knew! I've done a lot of bricknose brake jobs (and Rangers of the same era) and never used anything but a drift and BFH.....works fine (shrug)

I use one of the old pads placed against the piston and a large c-clamp to push the piston back into the caliper's bore, it's very easy to do.. No need for anything else. Just make sure you have the cap of the master cylinder removed when you push the piston back in and drain pan or a piece of cardboard underneath to catch the fluid. I have an 87 and believe it is the same as your 91. It is very easy.
I hope you are also replacing the hardware too. The wedges shouldn't be reused.
It would also be beneficial to rough up the rotors with some emory cloth if you are reusing them before installing the pads.

Been doing it the same way for well over 50 years !!

First, I remove some brake fluid from the reservoir. Then I shove a large blade screwdriver down between the pad and the rotor. The tip of the screwdriver is located next to the hub. Then I press the screwdriver against the pad.
