Any online manuals to change brake pads on a Mondeo?

Im trying to save money at the moment and don't want to buy a haynes manual for 拢15 but I would like to know if there are any online manuals or places that'll give me advice how to change them.Any online manuals to change brake pads on a Mondeo?
With most Fords you'll need a 7mm allen key. But it also depends on if you are changing front or rear pads..



This is how I would change them.. If they have remained the same since a Sierra!



Wheel off, on the back of the calliper, there are 2 plastic caps which cover the 7mm allen key bolt. Prise the calliper pot/s back using a scredriver so they are all the way in.



Use the allen key, and possibly a 15mm spanner to stop the slider from spinning around. I tend to undo both the top and bottom bolts and remove the calliper fully. Brake pads out, New ones in, not forgetting the anti-squeal shims (if there are any, and also put some copperslip, or copper grease to help stop squeal)



Calliper back on, tighten bolts, and put caps back on. Wheel on, and after you've done them, don't forget to 'pump' the pedal a few times so the calliper pistons are out.



The back ones, depends on if you have brake drums or disks, Drums are easier, to some degree, as long as you don't have a 'lip' on the rim on the drum. Disks are a bit more complex, as you have to mess around with the handbrake tension at the back of the calliper set up.
