I am trying to replace my brake pads on my 1997 Explorer XLT with 4WD. I removed the calipers with ease, yet i need to get the discs machined and they wont come off. I have tried messing with it with screw drivers and mallets. I also set the e-brake on the lowest setting and it only moves so...

I have broken it twice. Once bought it from ford dealership, 60 bucks. And online on ebay i just bought one for 10 bucks and 8 dollars shipping. Its very easy to replace.

Hope it works out alright man and glad everyones ok. Sorry about your ex, i guess i just got lucky and my insurance paid me double what i bought it for. Hope they treat you right.

Yeah stupid moves on my part, the bus thing wasnt my fault, as someone cut in front of the bus and it slammed on brakes and i did too and just slid across gravel at about 15mph. The people in the bus didnt even feel it so no one was hurt. And yes i have acted stupid but i have been driving a...

I think it will be totaled, but if not for some reason, i guarentee it will be a lot more than 4k. The insurance company bid my hood and door damage at about 5k. Then decided to total it :-D Cost me a good 800 to get a new door and hood and front end installed. And then i decided to repaint...

Alright wlel if i know how this works, ill nominate myself. Ill get some pictures soon too. Firstly right after i got my X about 6 months ago, i tried to pull a james bond move at 45 in reverse... and it didnt end up well except for a fence, and a tire blown off my car. Then a month or two...

Well they might be used for various things, i do have a handgun i may want to hide (perfectly legal with out good ole concealed weapon laws), but mainly for expensive liquer, without having it out in the open looking like an alcoholic. And where if i get searched, nothing will get found easily...

Thanks, ill be trying Aldive's way of fixing it, it isnt a real bother, but same thing happened to me and been meanign to fix it.

Alright i know this sounds bad, but its just for safety percautions. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for small spaces to hide objects in a 1997 4 door XLT. Dont frown jsut yet i never said it would be used for anything bad, just stuff i dont want others to steal or see. I have used...

So could anyone give me step by step on how to remove and install new(used) cruise control switches in a 1997 Explorer XLT?

It did it at the beach and on pavement

I figured while im getting everything fixed on my X and the funds are avaliable i might as well fix everything. I forgot about this until now. When i put the beast into 4 wheel drive and i make a turn there is a loud popping noise. There is no effects on the driving ability or any difference...

The Cat Converter problem seems right ill check that tomomrow thanks. And i have a v6 SOHC 4x4.

Ever since i bought my explorer about 6 months ago it has randomly had a rattling noise when i start it up. I believe it goes away after the car warms up and i take it to higher speeds. But when i first start it up and when im going low speeds after that it makes a rattling noise. I have had...

I just had an event like that. I was driving my pretty new (to me) 97 xlt and this guy comes out of a parking lot not stopping and cuts off a school bus, and the bus slams on its brakes and i slam on mine and skid across gravel into the bus. And then the guy who cut off the bus swings around...
