Tried Bob Bidonde's method. Didn't work to well. Could be me.
My next try will be the board method. I did watch Paul Shinn's video and
was impressed, and also watched another video doing the board method.
will post my results.

I'll be curious to see how Paul Shinn's method works for you. He seems to parallel the Red Book for the most part, which parallel's the Service Bulletin on page 202. Ford's bulletins show a desired end state of the rear brakes doing the brunt of the work, with front breaks assisting -- the stick will get you that. For those with the philosophy of not using the stick (other than for a fire starter) it seems the belief is to have all four brakes stopping equally. Different philosophies, but in the end -- both will stop your car.
