the cross pin torque spec is 22-24 ft lbs. also, Ford spec for torque on lug nuts is 150 ft lbs. I double checked this based onprevious years being 100 ft lbs. dman
Hey just a tip, if you push on the top of the metal clip that sits in between the two pins, the pins will come out much easier....as a matter of fact, you can usually grab them with your hand and pull them out by pushing and releasing that clip tension.
Finally! I've been wanting to change my brake pads myself and couldn't find any videos for a while. I lost it at the bit about how heavy the wheels are. Thanks for doing this.
Bro you make it look super easy, lol I just installed mine and I had so much trouble taking the old pads off but your video gave me confidence to do it, great video 👍🏼
No worries man. Hey, I just wanted to mention that there's a tool for those pins. I just picked it up a couple of days ago from www.racingbrake.com/product-p/ccp01.htm. Price says $15 but they tag on $10 in shipping so it's sort of expensive I guess.
I actually made it through several more track days with those pads. I have not changed them yet since the car has been in the garage for the winter, but when I do, I won't be using the past. I'll let you know if I have any brake squeal as a result.
They are oem Ford pads, and they are about $250. Given the number of track days I have on them, and their excellent reliable performance, I will happily pay the price to keep using them. :)
Dude have you ever had those Brembos squeak on you? If so what did you do to get rid of it? I swapped out my break pads with some OEM pads 2,000 miles ago and the squeak when I lightly press on the breaks is ridiculous!
Hey guys! If this video helped you please subscribe to my channel. I'm trying to get over the 1000 sub mark, and do 2 new videos every month for 2020!! :)
How do those stock pads hold up on track days? I have a 2020 pp1 I want to try on the track someday? Edit: I asked that while watching the video. I'm assuming it'll be fine for me to run the stock pads
They work incredibly well on track. I did over 3 complete track days on mine with no issues. They are honestly incredible brakes. Have fun on your track day!!
@@lobbyrobby I have lived all over the country, and been lucky enough to drive on a lot of great tracks. Currently the National Corvette museum raceway is my closest track, and it's very fun.
Having to compress those pistons without removing the calipers makes me nervous. Ive changed brakes a bunch of times, but theyve always been floating calipers, never fixed, so dealing with pistons was easy. I was kind of looking to see how you were going to handle that. oh well.
thenumber1bobo That is a great question. You should be able to push them in with your fingers. If not you can use the plastic handle of a screwdriver to give you leverage, and also the plastic won't damage the rotor or pistons. Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment. :)

I’ll be referencing this video as I install a set of Hawk ceramic pads (this weekend).
Thank you!

Thanks for the vid, helped me replace my PP brake pads
Great video, coming from someone that's not that good with mechanical things. This made it so much easier.
Thanks for the video. I have the brembo 6 piston on my V60 Polestar and I have no doubt I can change my own pads
Before pulling the old pads out use a flat screwdriver to collapse the pistons between the old pad and the rotor. so that you can get the new pads in.
no cuz you will F up the rotors with the flat head lmao
@@trunkslorenzana you will not harm the front rotors. ( not carbon fiber). The rear is a different story, they have to be turned in.
Thanks Shane, glad I could help!

Thanks for the info Shane, i guess that is not too bad of a price considering how much you would save by doing it yourself vs taking it to the dealer.
If you're doing this: turning the steering wheel all the way to one side will give you a lot more room to work.
Where did you buy the OEM pads from and what all was included in the box when you got them? (i.e. pads, shims, paste, etc...)
Nice looking car man
Did you ever change the pads at a later date?
Just curious if you applied the Brembo brake pad paste part#04.2954.55
I actually made it through several more track days with those pads. I have not changed them yet since the car has been in the garage for the winter, but when I do, I won't be using the past. I'll let you know if I have any brake squeal as a result.
Not sure of you still get updates, but I used your video for a quick refresher on my Brembo 2015 GT. Thanks
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Is there specific top and bottom for the pads? Or do we just put them in as it fits??
Thanks
They will only fit one way.
Your my hero!
Hey Eric! Did you ever think that five years later people would still be getting help from this video? lol Thanks!
It's super awesome that it's still helpful!! I wish I had more time to make more videos!
@@kawininja062024 checking in, thank you!
Good video, a couple of questions, are those original pads? How much did the pads cost you?
They are oem Ford pads, and they are about $250. Given the number of track days I have on them, and their excellent reliable performance, I will happily pay the price to keep using them. :)

Brake pad grease on the back of the pads that face the caliper has worked for me in the past.

Is taptaparoo the technical term?
That is correct ;)
what product did you use to paint the logos on the tire that was trick
It was just a medium tip white oil based paint pen from wal-mart
Good vid. Is the white on the P Zero paint?
Yes, basic oil based paint marker you can pick up at your local store.

@Eric TK perfect. I'll probably bring another set with me just in case. Where do you track your car at?

@@kawininja06 sweet! Have you any suspension mods to the car?
thanks
hey what rims are those in the beginning of the video?
They are Enkei Raijin 19x9 they are my track day wheels. Much lighter than stock, and look great!
I have the same ones. 19" Aluminum rims.
Where did you order your brake pads?? And what kind?
I can't remember, it's been too long ago now. Sorry :(

Thanks man
The torque old the lugs are actually 150lbs.
Never mind...just read the same question in later comments.
