power steering brakes.

Hey guys..
I just checked around the under side of my car to make sure nothing els might be going on around the brakes, checked all the lines and rotors, in case I need to have them turned, I'm replacing the pads beings I will have the old ones off. I bought the car a year ago.
I noticed I have all disc brakes, will that change the procedure other then I don't have wheel cylinders?.

Sorry for late reply, I was unable to log in.
Age doesn’t matter when you have the drive to do the job.
As for the rear rotors. Just means a little more expense. More rubber hoses and 2 more calipers. Watch for a valve back there too. Many have them and there are plungers inside with O-rings, I am having internet issues and unable to log into alldata atm to double check, but you can look for them when car is up and apart.

Wow !
What an experience, First I want to thank ALL of you for your help.
My nephew is a blessing, he turned me on to Rock Auto on line, I had a real pain in the neck with getting parts, no one had a master cylinder, had to order a re-maned and then when I went to pick it up I got the (Oh It's a girl lets rip her off) they lost my part in transit from Seattle to Portland but they had a new one I could get for $40 more, as I was walking out I said ( no way I can get a new one for the price of your re-maned only gotta wait three days) so I did...part store wanted $102.00 for new, no core return. Rock Auto..$52.00 plus $10. shipping for new.
My nephew helped me tremendous, he did all the heavy work,he had the floor jack and compressor, we got everything off open and flushed and dried, I did take pix but after doing the first caliper it was in my head,replaced everything except the tires and master cylinder, filled the master cylinder, bench bled it, that was a b***h, we looked at each other and said (this its it)he put it on ..I got the bleeding supplies ready and hook up the battery. we bled the brakes..what a difference, they are better then when I bought the car, took it to a part store checked the HCU.. no air. . Now I just gotta wait an see if it throws a code. I forgot how much I love my Ford . always loved cars even as a little girl, not sure if any of you remember Rod Action Mag? in the 70s I had all the pages cut out and on my walls in my room, never could afford a new car, so I bought used and fixed it my self. learned a lot. Fords have always been my best car and trucks.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!..I'M BACK ON THE ROAD.
