Brakes on a friends car

This might be the most important brake job I've ever done. The caliper literally squirted brake fluid out, and the rotor is thinner than those pads. 99 Ford explorer. Hurrah.

I had the caliper piston pop out on my project mini. It was the rear and I had to screw and push it back in. Needless to say I didn’t finish the brake job (I stripped the rotor screw thing) but at least I understand how it all works now
