Just a quick video showing how to change the rear brake pads on a 2016 Ford Transit. These vans tends to wear out the rear brake pads much quicker than the front pads.
My van didn't have the low frequency damper installed, so I added them. If you already have them installed, you can just remove the caliper bolt together with the damper.
Tools needed:
13mm wrench and/or socket
caliper wind back tool
brake grease
The torque on the caliper bolts is 23 ft lbs.
If you need to change the brake rotor, you will need to unbolt and remove the axle.
Ford recommends replacing the o-ring and the axle bolts as they are stretched when following the torque specs. (Axle bolts are 22 ft lbs plus a 90 degree turn).

Excellent video good clear information Thanks I will be changing the pads in a week or two!
Why did ford feel the need to make a simple brake job so difficult ?
Wish Ford had offered a larger braie rotor and brakes on the 250 and 35- versons....the ones on my T 250 have to be replaced every 25,000 miles...we owned 7 Ford vans..the Econoline s....never had brakes go out this fast carrying same load...no trailier pulling either...we get 70,000 easy on Econoline version....Great informative video
Yep the Ford engineers are nuts for designing these vans this way
A good video it real helped me out, Thanks
Thanks Dan just did my 2017 rear brakes,great help.
Hello Dan, this was an excellent one. This one appears to have the inboard pad with a dimple. I wonder if that engaged the caliper piston in one of the slots. This is one the the first videos I have seen, and believe me, I've seen many, that mention the use of the reverse threading of the piston compression tool you used. Thanks for pointing that out.
Did you notice the slide pins were different. I ask because you did not mentioned that.
BTW the way, I subscribed.
Thanks for sharing
Just about to do the front and rests on my Ford custom . I noticed the kits i purchased only seem to have wear sensor wires supplied with the front set, but not the rear ! Does the real not have sensor wires ? All the rear kits I see online don’t seem to have them supplied
Just did the rears on my 2017 transit. Thank you 🙏🏻 Was a breeze
Good information, I'm in the middle of doing brakes on a transit at work. Also if your not sure which way to turn your caliper piston there's an arrow indicator stamped on the caliper.
The Ford engineers are idiots they took what should be a simple replace brake pads and inspect rotors job into a complicated mess.
I tried the tool from autozone and it did not work as easy as yours. Do you need to bleed it as you press?
I have a 2019 Transit 250, I was told the calipers and rotors are 1 time use is this true?
Great informative video very helpful. Thanks
Great help. Thank you
Torqued my caliper bolt to 44ft/lb like the front, so that's how I stripped put the threads out the slider 😅
Yep the caliber bolts on the rear torque to 23 ft. Lbs.
Grease or oil rotts rubber:you need to use rubber grease ...
Yes, You are correct. Traditional petroleum based grease will degrade rubber.
Here’s the info from the manufacturer that makes the Sil-Glyde product I used in this video:
“Sil-Glyde® Lubricating Compound A longer-lasting, high film strength protective lubricant for all surfaces, including: rubber, metal, wood, glass, and plastic. Won’t melt, freeze, gum, or run off. Performs from -20 deg F to +400 deg F. Grease consistency stays put and won’t drip off like silicone oils. Harmless to rubber and car finishes. Suggested applications: Trunk seals, rubber bumpers, speedometer cables, brake parts, window channels, hood strips and pads, rubber gaskets, and belts.”
I have been using it for years, and it works great.
Thx,
Dan the Fix it Man
Aren’t you supposed to open up the bleeder valve when you reset the calipers. That’s what my ford technician does he says back pressure will destroy the ABS module
How do you adjust handbrake on Ford Transit 350 XLT? I did rear brake job, now handbrake is so loose and working poorly. Thanks
Got a 2017 custom. Is that the same as in one side is LH threaded? Been struggling to wind the piston in for some time now.
It’s UK model. Passenger side wound in perfectly with the RH threaded wind back tooo.
Are the pads the same front and back or is there another part number?
No, they are different, Here's a link to the front pads. This is also the Z36 PowerStop.

Thanks for watching!

Changed rear. Went fine, but now have abs light and traction control light in dash. Start up also “hill start assist not available.” Any ideas? Thanks
Nice work 👍🏻
Nice
Thank you Dan The Fix It Man👍🙌 I just subscribed to your channel I will work on this myself.
Thanks Dan really helpful video, I would also like to ask does it matter if my van is a 12 passenger van can I still use the same brake pads you used here on this video
Cheers bud the left-hand thread was very very useful knowledge also my caliper did have a very big arrow!
Thanks again ! I just install the brakes pads for 2019 transit
Thank you very much, the video was very helpful
Video came in clutch
Also watched it two years ago ha. So thanks again
That's awesome. Thanks for watching!....again!
Whats the purpose of the half moon cut out on the top of the inner pad.
Nagyon jó videó, részletes, nem hiányzik belőle semmi.
Is this left or right hand drive?
Great video ! Thank you
Very good video thanks
Thanks Dan - great info!
You are the man! Thanks
Thank you
Thanks
Do you NEED the windback tool? On other vehicles in the past, I've just used a c-clamp. Will that work in this case?
Hi James,
Yes, on this one, you definitely need the wind back tool. Just pressing the caliper pistons back in with a C-clamp will not work. The pistons need to turn as they are compressed.
Thanks for watching!
-Dan the Fix it Man
@@DantheFixitMan Darn! Maybe I'll rent it from AutoZone. My girlfriend and I are on the road and trying to change our brakes.. lol. Great vid! Thanks for the good detail 😁
James Kuhn, Best of luck to you! Safe travels!
Take care,
-Dan
I managed to get around using the wind back tool and used a C clamp. On the driver side it works fine because it automatically twists clockwise. Passenger side took a little work but once you get the rhythm it's easy. As you tighten your C clamp take some channel locks and turn the caliper counter clockwise. The pivoting head on the c clamp will allow for the rotation while tightening to keep pressure. There's just barely enough lip on the caliper head to grab it so be careful not to grab your rubber boot and mess it up. Either way it's a two handed job. Thanks for this video though or I'd of never known these things had to twist to go in.
The link to the tool is worth a like in and of itself.
Dan, any ideas of why the horn would not work? The fuses are good.
My guess would be either the horn is bad or the wiring to the horn has corroded. (I hear it's pretty common for them to fill up with water on some models). Maybe try to unplug the horn and run two wires straight to the battery to check if it still works. If the horn and wiring checks out ok, it could be the clockspring inside the steering wheel. You can also have your finger on the horn relay when trying to honk the horn to see if you can feel it click.
Best of luck to you, hope it's an easy fix.

Dan the Fix it Man I hear the relay clicking. I’ll try the the wire method you suggested. One more thing. I saw you video on replacing a power steering pump on a Mdx. How do you bleed the lines after the new one is on?
Grape Jelly
I usually just turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and all the way to the right a few times with the car lifted up and the engine off. (Just make sure the key is in so the steering wheel won’t lock in place). Then start the engine and do the same thing with it idling. Just keep an eye on the reservoir and add more fluid as necessary to make sure it stays full. Also, only use Honda approved power steering fluid.
Do you usually keep the old fluid or drain it out?
Grape Jelly drain out as much as possible and replace with new fluid. It’s also a good idea to drain the reservoir again after driving a few miles, and replace it with new fluid to make sure you have clean fluid in the steering rack too.
Hi Dan, I have a 2016 Ford Transit. the rear brakes were replaced 11 months ago by les swchab. Initially, they installed them backwards, I had issues driving home and had to turn around and come back and they discovered what happened and fixed it.
Now, 11 months later, I have a rear axel sealant leak so oil has been saturating my relatively new rear brakes. The mechanic is telling me I need to replace the "new" brakes and rotars because of the oil all over them. Do you think this oil leak has anything to do with the faulty brake job done? 🤔
Also, would you say it's necessary to replace the brakes and rotars because of oil on them?
@@brittanybagley6337 Hi Brittany,
Yes, you would definitely need to replace them if they are soaked in oil. I don't think installing the brake pads backwards would be a direct cause for the axle seal to fail and leak.
Do you know if they changed the rotors last time, or just the brake pads?
When the rotors are changed in this van, the axles have to come out (bad design) and the seal could have been damaged when doing that... Not necessarily because the brakes may have been installed backwards. Also, you would usually notice the leak shortly after the service if it were damaged at that time.
The axle seals do wear out and eventually fail and it's not that rare to have a leak just happen over time due to normal wear and tear on the vehicle.
I think there is also a TSB (technical service bulletin) on some of the Brake Calipers on these vans being installed upside down from the factory with the bleeder screws facing down because they were put on opposite sides of the vehicle...which might have been what they were referring to...
Best of luck to you!
