Is there a walkthrough to change brake pads on a 02 gt, I found some for the bullitt, which seems to be pretty simple lol, thanks for the help guys.

The GT does not have c-clips like the article on the Bullitt Archive shows. A Haynes manual would be helpful but also only shows the c-clip fasteners on the caliper.

Found this article just a few days ago when I was changing my front pads out. Written pretty well.

That article is pretty inaccurate for a 2002...

So basicaly the brakes are the same as the 94-98 model ? Thanks for the info, it doesn't looks to hard lol. I'll probably buy a haynes manual also.

I can't vouch for that for sure, but the basics should be the same. I've changed many disc brake pads on different flavors of cars (even done some drums, which are quite a bit different) and they all pretty much follow the same steps. I had bought the haynes also but it didn't cover exactly my stang even though the book was for the correct model and year. So this link helped me out quite a bit.
