It is just as easy. Pop off the caliper and pull the pads out. The ABS sensor is mounted to the spindle.

Yea the rotors will be held on with a little circle clip around one of the studs. Just pull it off with a pair of pliers and toss it, you dont need it. The rear has drums correct?

one thing i have never confirmed: i read that one should pop the bleeder to recess the piston in the caliper, rather than push the fluid back up to the M/C (something about fluid not goin backwards well past the sensors). i have no idea if this is true, but thought i would toss it out for someone to say yeah or nay to.

good luck.

I never had a problem with that. I just cram the piston(s) back in and put in the new pads.
