There isn't a trailing edge to normal car pads. You get either four identical or two of one and two of another in the event that the inner and outer on a wheel are different(rare). When you fit them one set will effectively be contacted in the direction of rotation opposite to the other side (not the discs obviously but in relation to the pad positions. In other words if, part way through use, you were to swap an identically positioned pad from the left to the right wheel the discs would contact the pad in a direction of rotation opposite to the original fit positions.
So there is, effectively, no perceived trailing or leading edge.

When drivers put on the breakes what stops the car from moving?
The brakes work on the principal of friction. I will be using a disc brake example, however the principal remains the same on every style of brake. The driver hits the brake pedal, which pushes a hydraulic cylinder. This forces brake fluid to move further down the brake lines, creating pressure where the line ends. This pressure pushes the brake pad into the disc, creating a lot of friction. The harder the pedal is pressed, the more the brake pad is forced into the disc, creating more friction. This friction then stops the wheels from turning as fast, and that stops the car from moving.
What are the basic parts of a disc brake?

Retract caliper piston on Ford Freestar 2005?
The piston retracts by turning it back in. You will need a Disc Brake Pad Spreader (Part Number: 648412) and a Disc Brake Piston Tool (Part Number: 648410) found at Advance Auto Parts. The Brake Piston Tool looks like a Rubik cube. Simply line up the knobs into the piston slots and place the disc brake pad spreader between the caliper and brake piston tool. Apply slight pressure on the piston via the pad spreader and turn the brake piston tool with a screw driver while continuing to apply pressure on the brake piston tool. From what I have read they could retracted by turning either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Is copper grease sfe to spray on brake discs?
NO! No...no...no...! Do not put any grease on your brake discs, copper grease is used to put on the 'back' of the brake pads (not the part of the pad that comes into contact with the disc).
