The answer below has been given by a whiney scared idiot who would like to scare someone from ever working on their car. Working on cars is not rocket science. And front brakes are easy, and it is simple to DO IT RIGHT. First of all, on a 1998 Ford Escort, the front brakes are disk brakes. Just go to any car parts store like Pep Boys or Auto Zone and purchase a repair manual. The employees there will help you find the right one for your car. Follow all the safety precautions, by all the right tools (fairly inexpensive, and not that many) and check out the pictures that accompany the instructions. You will save yourself up to a thousand dollars over the life of your car. Good luck! .....and don't listen to the negative fuddy duddies that give bad advice. They should be banned from this site.

I have NEVER read a manual or asked anyone how to replace the brakes on any vehcile in the over 20 years of working on vehicles. If you have to get your brakes worked on, and you have no knowledge of vehicle brakes, have someone you know, who knows HOW TO DO IT RIGHT, show you. or Take it to a shop.

The most prominent weapon in use in America today is the Automobile. Playing with it, is like playing with a loaded 357 magnum with the hammer cocked.
