Absolutely awesome that you put in the out takes for the pins and retainer springs! Nice to know someone who is experienced with the job needed several tries to succeed. After watching a video and attempting to reproduce the single successful result shown, and failing to do so, this is usually the precise moment the "EXPLETIVES" begin for me...
Thank you soooo much for not editing them OUT!!!
Glad the video helped. I always dread putting those in. Sometimes it goes on the first attempt, other times it takes 20 tries.
What a great video ..no dam music , just good instructions well explained in good English.. I THANK YOU SIR.
It would be nice if all videos had this type of format!!! Very informative with no BS. Thank you for taking the time to do it right.
Thank you for the comment. I attempt to keep my content educational, informational, and most importantly...useful.
This is BY FAR the best video on F-150 rear brakes I have found. You are a total pro, very concise and clear explanations. The highlighting of parts that you are referring to goes above and beyond anyone on UA-cam. I watched about 10 videos on F-150 rear brakes, and not one properly explained how to adjust the drum brakes through the back of the brake assy, so that the rotor can be easily pulled off. On a 1-to 10 scale I give this a 9.9
Thank you for the positive comment. I make my best attempt to produce quality content that people can follow. Good luck with your repair.
Insane Oil, having owned and done the brakes on cars since the 1960's I can state with experience that all drum brakes that have been on the car/truck for a year or more require that you pull the brake pads in by spinning the star adjustment wheel before trying to remove the drum. The unused portion of the outside of the brake drum always has a rust ring and the brake shoes always wear into the brake drum thereby requiring the mechanic to adjust the brake shoes in and away from the drum to gain clearance for removal. It is the nature of the part. Nice check list though.
I agree with you completely.
The only thing you forgot to mention were the guides and there condition. Aside that, absolutely GREAT I structional video! Probably thee best I've ever seen!
Agreed. Always inspect the guides and replace if necessary..
Each time you dropped that spring I muttered an expletive.
This is the true test of one's patience and anger management skills.
Hello,
Nice job on the video.
For what it is worth with installing those spring retainers. I use needle nose vice grips to pre-depress those little springs from hell.
Depress or flatten the spring retainer with needle nose vice grips, line up that pin/stud in the slot, then turn the tip of the pin/stud with needle nose pliers 90 degrees, release the needle nose vice grips. It worked well for me because I only have 2 hands.
Best,
Jeff
Aunque no hablo inglés tu explicación gráfica es muy detallada Muy buen video amigo gracias por tu contribución.
Gracias por el comentario. Buena suerte con tu reparación.
EXCELLENT video !! I just did my rear brakes on my '09 F150 XLT and I wish I had seen your video earlier. I like the idea of leaving the upper spring in place and spreading the parking brake pads apart to remove them. I removed the upper spring first and due to rust it was a bit of a challenge. Again, great video Jon!!!
Remove cap on brake fluid reservoir and it will expand freely while you depress caliper. Nice video man. Thanks
Very good video, the only thing I might add is to clean or replace the caliper slide pins and lubricate. I also like to clean and lube the piston under the boot.
Agree on the sliding caliper pins, but not with the piston. Grease may contaminate the inner seal... that is just a dust boot to keep debris and water out
Great video! Thanks. I will be using this to replace my rotor pads and e-brake.
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Nice to see the parking brake job done with the axle still installed.
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
This is fantastic. Appreciate very much the arrows, pace of explanation and tone. Long may it continue
Really good video with good diagrams (circles and arrows), and also a head-up with the quirky spring pins. I had done these brakes a few years ago but this was an excellent refresher...thx!
Thank you for the comment. Glad it helped as a refresher.
This video and your front brake service video are both excellent. Thank you!
I always open the brake bleeder and then press the piston back in. This way you get all that old fluid that's been inside the caliper out of the system, and not pushed back in, then I top the reservoir with fresh fluid when I'm all done. Great video though, very informative. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
I agree with your technique...although the repair manual doesn't call for it, it is good practice.
Super exellent very well explained and professional video. Only thing you forgot to grease the pads to avoid squeaking. Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
That's optional, but he forgot to clean and lubricate the caliper sliding pins with silicone paste or caliper brake grease (high temperature)
Only thing I would add is to apply anti-seize on brake rails and on the back of the rotor. Saves work next time. Great info.
Excellent video. You did a great job on this.
God bless, let me replace my brake pads and rotors myself. Thanks man really helps out.
Thank you for the comment. Much appreciated.
This video is very well done. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Such a good video. Very clear, very well shot. It gives me confidence to do my rear brakes.
Insane Oil is like my personal Haynes manual for my F150 :)
I appreciate the compliment.
Fantastic video. I had a grinding noise coming from the passanger rear. Took the rotor off and the springs were bent and the ceramic part of the brake shoes were crumbled to pieces. Ordered new parts today. Should be easy to put back together in 2 days when it comes in. Thanks
How did the repair go?
This was a great video along with thorough visuals on the reality of what can happen in the process. Keep up the good work
Excellent camera work. Have never seen better!!
Wow sounds like mr. Rogers fantastically easy to understand great video
I teach like I learn...slow. Good luck with your repair.
One of the few that knows about the drum brake adjustment access hole on the backing plate. These are called parking brake shoes, btw... for others to search for replacement ones on AutoZone or similar parts website
Very good video, clearly spoken and thoroughly covered details but only essential information.
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Great tutorial! I need to work on my ebrake now...doesn’t stop truck from rolling when it engaged!
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Very good instructional video and is your voice soothing . The hold down pins on the drum brakes are a pain. I see you had a time with them too. Thanks
Most amazing video DIY I have EVER seen on UA-cam!
Subscribed for sure. I appreciate the speed at which you spoke, well done.
Patrick Amos Thank you for the comment. I hope the video helped with your repair.
Insane Oil it most certainly did, thank you so much !
He talks like Dracula ... getting ready to drink blood from a victim ... but the video is fantastic .. I followed the video's instruction and replaced my pad, rotor without any problems at all
Change video speed to 1.25 .
Agreed, for the occasional DIY mechanic, excellent video thanks.
I liked this video! the explanation is excellent. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom. 👍🏼👌🏼👋🏼👏🏼
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Awesome video! Thank you. Very helpful tips for my next project on F-150
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Add this important note open bleeder screw before pushing piston back in as to prevent backwards flow of brake fluid which can damage the $900.00 dealer only hydraulic control valve .
I understand your idea, however, the repair manual doesn't specify this procedure.
Watching this video now as I will be back at it tomorrow. All new rear calipers , discs and pads installed. But e brake is messed up now. I will jack up the rear again and get it in stands. See today. My wheels extremely hard to turn I think it seems normal as it turns the differential and the opposite wheel the opposite way. Seems hard to spin freely to check for drag ti adjust That is why I loosened the rv rake as j in though they were locked uo
This sure beats a video I recently watched in which wandering chickens were getting in the way of the camera. The video might as well have featured banjo music.
I try to keep my videos chicken free.
Great video! Thank you for uploading with helpful tips, and additional comments. This will help me with my 2001 f-150!!!
You made it look easy. Great video.
i noticed the front end vid had reference to the size socket, i think i saw a 10 mm on this one, my dad's truck needs some new pads so going to be doing this soon myself.
Muy profesional, gracias por su vídeo.
Gracias. Espero que te haya ayudado con tu reparación.
Fantastic production and quality work.
Great visual graphics. Very informative. Good job !!
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
You are one in a few that show step bye step for us newbies to do this. Love your vids. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you for the comment. I am glad the video helped.
Thank you for the great video now I feel I can do it and also you speak slowly so that I can understand because English is my second language...keep up the great job
You are the best mechanic .
Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.
LOL....Those pins are a pain to hold in place when you are doing this by yourself. I ended up inserting the pin and then inserting a wooden dowel in the backing plate recess and clamping the other end of the dowel to the axle bracket. That way the pin could not drop out. It took me a lot of swearing to finally figure it out and after that it was a breeze!
Good idea with the wooden dowel...I'll have to try that next time.
tip: if you adjust the parking brake "wheel" and the rotor is still stuck, hit it with a metal hammer in between the studs. It will pop right out.
Great vid man, you taught me something
Thank you this video helped me a lot 👍🏽
Thanks for the comment. Sounds like your repair was a success.
This an excellent and welll detailed video. It is the best video for this brake job.
Thank you for your comment. Good luck with your repair.
Great video. Clear instructions and pictures.
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Best how to auto video I've seen!!!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
I hope that was the right direction to turn the adjuster :) in Also nice job man make those billion dollar networks look like clowns
I am pretty sure it was the right direction...I haven’t driven off a cliff into the abyss yet.
This is an excellent video. Well done. So informative. Loved it!
Thank you, I hope it helped with your repair.
Great video. I am working on an Econoline E-350 and there doesn’t seem to be a good video on the parking brakes. The assembly is upside down but same otherwise.
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Your video production quality is absolutely fantastic. Maybe drink a coffee before making the next video though ;)
Thank you, this video is very helpful and will save me a lot of money. Cheers
Super very nice vidro,thanks.
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Good damn video man! You got a new sub! I would love to see how you would paint your calipers?. Nothing fancy w red paint or whatever just silver or black
Thanks for the comment. Did you end up painting your calipers?
Great video I really appreciate the detail in your explaining.
thanks, great video. the best video I gave found. I appreciate that you took your time to explain so clearly. right on! and yes I have subscribed .
Very Informative. Have A Hayes Shop Manual, like you get at Advance or Autozone.
I viewed your UA-cam after Replacement. :-( Thank-you for Taking The time For Making Video. Very On Point! My Lesson..NEVER Assume Nothing. With today's Technology, I'll now Check Via UA-cam too.
Kudos! Commend You on Staying On Point!
Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.
great instructions
Great video and explanations! Thank you
My rear parking brakes apply on their own, they slip free of cable and the spreader fully applies, when replaced shoes n hardware they seemed free, tad sticky.
I did reuse my old clips as the new ones were impossible to put on with my bad back... guess will pull back apart and regrease it all, I had to change spiders, axle bearings n seals too..
Missed making sure the caliper pins were free.. if not those need maintenance..
Good video! I am about to try this on my 2014 f150. The parking brake is stuck and makes a very loud screeching noise when moving .
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Your video is very well done and very helpful. Thank you. When adjusting the star bolt you say you will go back later and adjust it further, but I don't think you showed that in your video. I have just finished one side of my truck, but am wondering if I need to go back and adjust the star to prevent parking brake rubbing when not engaged. If you coul, please advise. Again, thanks you.
Adjustment of the star wheel is initially done by feel. The braking system will self adjust to some degree as you drive the vehicle. It is designed to do this just as it would if the brake pad linings were getting worn. If you are hearing noises or it doesn't feel quite right, it may be necessary to readjust things.
Excellent video.
you're a good teacher. A+
Caliper bolt torque is 20lbsft
Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.
cool just got me a 97 4.6 4x4 4speed work tuck
Great job Jon. Thanks.....
Fantastic Video! It covers the details that many videos gloss over?
Thank you. I hope it helps with your repair.
Insane Oil i agree with ernest keep up the good work mister
The only main thing he forgot was to clean and 're lube the sliding caliper pins
Excellent video
Padre video, lo haré yo mismo en mi lobo, saludos cordiales.
Gracias por tu comentario. Buena suerte con tu reparación.
very good job, thank you
Great video, thanks for posting! For the parking brake adjuster/release on the top (the winged hinge that sticks through the backing plate and attaches to the cable) is there anyway to get those out to clean up/replace them without removing the whole hub assembly? mine are completely gummed up with rust etc. and after a whole day of spraying penetrating oil and scraping with a flat blade I can't get them loose enough to work. I have to keep hammering them back to the release position after pulling the bake release inside. However, when I try to pull them out of the backing plate they bump up against the hub.
Can I pull the hub off to remove those clips without ruining the bearings in there? I don't really want to have to repack the bearings if I can help it.
nice job
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
great vid
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
So I took the Ebrake components out completely. I think that should be fine right? lol I dont use it much.
According to Murphy's Law you will need your eBrake soon.
Great video thanks!
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Great video 👍👍
It's my high school math teacher or I hear Bueller ? Bueller Anyone ?
hello, my question is how to adjust the cable of the emergency brake of a 2001 ford F150. thanks
+Juan Rivas Hello Juan. My '09 does not have an adjuster for the cable itself. Check yours at the spot where it splits in two and each cable goes to each rear wheel. There may be a threaded adjuster there. But, for my '09 I don't see one.
Thanks!!
My 2001 f150 bi-fuel came with the 7-lug hub. 🙄 Thanks Ford, and no, I’ll never forgive you for that design idea. Wasn’t a big deal until I upgraded the rims. Then the hundreds of rim options went down to two. I could’ve bought blanks, but... really?
could you also add the star wheel before the lower return spring or do you need to do it in that order
Good video buuuuut sloth like
Agreed...I'm an educator...not an entertainer. :)
thanks nice and neat
better at 1.5 playback speed maybe 1.75
You should try it at .5
Insane Oil glorious response
Nice videos
Thanks for the comment. Hope they helped with your repairs.
Anyone know what to do if the rotor is still stuck after using a hammer and adjusting the small gear. Moved it both directions and nothing loosened up
Spray penetrating oil and get medieval with the hammer
So when the back end is on stands yiur in park correct ? Not neutral to get wheel to move more freely ? If it’s in park I don’t get whey the wheels would even want to move at all ?
Yes, I was in park. Any luck? I did have an issue where the parking brake connection hardware was sticking, so when I would release the parking brake the system wouldn't fully disengage.
@@InsaneOil I ended up jacking up the rear while n neutral Then I was able to kind of spin the rear tires and listen to the shoes on the drums. This really had me stumped and scratching my head. Seems the rear tires should not be allowed to move freely while in park right ??? Makes sense to me. So while in neutral they did and seemed normal. Well after all this I couldn’t adjust the parking brake to work correctly again. Either would be on constant or only in reverse or no brake whatsoever. Tryed adjusting aboyt ten different times. When I started this the truck had a strong parking brake but a really hard p brake pedal. So hard it was useless for the elderly owner who never uses it anyway. I was hoping I was going to be able to make his pedal easier to activate
never heard of taking it off in a star pattern because of the wheel cracking. but whatever.
Best practices.
bro, very good video.
OH GREAT! What about the other side? j/k good video
