Default rear break change

ok, here it is, i changed my front breaks yesterday and found out that the
backs are the ones that need to be changed. my question is, are the rear
brakes any different then the front? is compressing the caliper the same
as the front? thats really all i need to know. and thanks for any input.

from what i remember, when i did my brakes last year the front and
rears are pretty much the same procedure. I have a 99 XLT.

I'm assuming you have rear disc brakes from what you didn't say. I have not
done them yet but I wanted to point out that, at least on the '97, there is
a parking brake that apparently has drum brakes on one side that you may
want to check while you are at it.
