Ford Escape - Front Brake Pads & Rotors
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he rolls through the day and replaces the front disk brake pads and rotors on a 2013 Fords Escape Titanium. Now this is a pretty simple job to do but it would be best before you handle this yourself to make sure you have the proper tools, equipment and manual. As always be safe!

Four years later and this video still helping out haha thanks for the great info!
4 years later, this video is still helping people. Thank you sir.
Pffff more like five years old and still helping!
Size of the brake calibers it takes Allen wrenches
7yrs now
I like the way your like a young Red Green character but for real life stuff, Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos.
Its raining cats and dogs in Texas. I had to cancel a road trip, due to a tornado warning. I was really bummed out thinking my 2 days off will be spent indoors.
Saw another new video from SMA, and I'm now thinking screw the bad weather! Everything is gonna be ok 👌
Time for another SMA binge marathon. 😈
so glad to see you're on patreon, people like yourself should be getting paid GOOD cash for the service you provide. The time and effort put in to cranking out these should be compensated, wise move :)
I mostly watch SMA for when you break out the brake clean. 6:26
Really great video. Love the care you put into your work at the shop
Thanks Eric, always like to see the process of how its done from start to finish.
Thanks for the help doing my wife's brakes on her 2014 escape. Well you know what I mean, this video took the mystery out of them and I had the right size Alan socket to take the calipers off. I also picked up the took to clean around the wheel lugs...HUGE help. I also got the hook to hang the caliper which is much safer than balancing it. Keep up the good work.
Great video, I do recommend using eye and earring protection, you’ll never know how valuable until unfortunately too late.
Killing it with the uploads this week.
3 videos 1 week hell ya i like it
More to come!
Justin Harper
YES! 👍
Justin Harper my favorite morning is the morning when I wake up and have a sma notification
But where is MRS O she is better to look at than you!
Right on time. I just bought an Escape for my daughter, grest first car.
Great video. Just got the Autel Diaglink($109) after seeing you use autel. It's the DIY version of the MD802 it does one make of vehicle and then $10 for each additional make, looks like 3 will fit in memory. It is awesome I can see all modules i believe all the factory PIDS and graph two of them at a time or merge graphs wow. Thanks again. How about a t-shirt for sale with all your colorful phrases...it would be a best seller. Have the viewers suggest their top five phrases and 1-2-barbeque better than a money light.
Thanks so much man you saved me $100 bucks by doing my escape brakes myself
I really enjoyed your video. You explained everything so simply!
Erico very excited when that magnum 44 hammer comes out to knock rotors free let alone the drama clip for your brake clean, beats hammering good show 😁
Tanks you just make my day easier thank you sir
Through and very informative vid thanks, enjoyed watching !!
Eric, your editing skills are getting pretty good man....I liked the inside wheel turn to an outside shot @12:39 .. attention to detail!!! Or is Mrs "O" the editor??
Great video as always! Do a fluid film undercoating one some time too!
Hi Eric, I love your channel. I have a 2010 Ford Escape XLT 118.000km with a peculiar issue on my braking system. I lose my power assist, mechanic bleeds, work for a month, and then lose power assist again. The brakes only catch near the floor. We blend them 2 different occasions and the problem returns. The only brake parts I changed in 14years are Front Disks and Pads. Everything else is original and checks out from my mechanic. Is there a specific issue with these vehicles that causes this issue? My mechanic thinks but not 100% the Master cylinder. We do not want to replace it for nothing. Thank you, Any advice is appreciated.
When i did my brake job, in the end there was more grease on the brake disc than where it should be. lmao
I am surprised you don't have any tools for pushing back pistons on calipers. I have a cheez two jaw puller that if you take the jaws off and just use the cross bar and the threaded rod makes quick work of most one and two piston calipers.
that rust inhibitor on rotors is called cosmoline
on chinese rotors? it's chinesium, probably all the bad chemicals they're not allowed to export directly boiled down into a sludge to coat things :))
Thanks for the video I needed a refresh!
great video
Great job again like always
They make a ceramic paint for brakes and headers, have you tried the stuff to see if it lasts with the salt?
Enjoy your videos and they are so helpful.I need some help on broken lug on 2005 Mazda Tribute ..it is front wheel drive and lug on rear is broke and I am not sure how to replace it due to no way to get new one in.The backing plate is in the way and am not sure if I remove the ermergency brakes and then get the backing plate off if there will be room?Do not want to have to try and remove the hub?
I don't know if you've ever mentioned it, but do you ever bed in new brake pads?
Do we have a new hardware in a brake pad package?
Hey Eric! Love your videos. I am looking to get new pads for my 2009 Tacoma and my girlfriends 2014 Focus in the near future. Do you recommend OEM for these applications? I know you're not a fan of aftermarket crap (neither am I) but I am wondering if you know of any good brands that have stood out other than OEM.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Does Lithium grease work well?
Which number socket you use?
Hay Eric what model is that air ratchet you use all the time in your videos. Thanks Dave.
I'm surprised Ford still uses this design, my sister's 89 Topaz was identical to this.
design used from the euro-trash cars =p
Say what is that impact device you used to loosen the rotor from hub? At 4:42
I just realized watching Eric dab the ears of the caliper.. the outside pad does not move in relation to the caliper at all it is the inside caliper that moves and the caliper slides. that is were you was your goop gopped.
Is Astro your favourite air tools?
At 1:30, sir, that tool is clearly a pry-driver.
Yeah just like I said!
I wouldn't be awake at 1am if I didn't need to know about fancy schmancy tools such as this, and the near identical giant hammer-drift. Thanks for showing me the ways of the master!
It's not a screw-bar? Or would that be the left-handed version?
I swear when you told us to grab a repair manual you said Chitluns...made me laugh...
Lol I may have
I'm disappointed Eric. No 'click' when tightening to factory specs?
eric o i would come work for you in a heartbeat
Eric how much usually you charge for such brake job?
Hey Eric ask MRS O for spam and eggs in the morning.
"green spam and eggs" :)))
Hey Eric, can you link the buffing disc that you use on the second die grinder? At 5:36.
should you always replace the rotors when you replace the brakes pads?
powerram92 On non European cars you technically can resurface rotors as long as they have enough material left on them. I personally would never machine rotors on my own personal car, but yes, a rotor should always be either machined or replaced when you replace brake pads
Be careful you don't get your hat stuck in the brake caliper, you wouldn't want to get dirty.
It's funny, I use a Turkey baster to suck up brake fluid but never to baste turkeys!!
Lol same here
I just dunk "clean" cheap blue shop towels for removing small amounts, otherwise cheap brake bleeder and container
I always wash mine out before giving it back to the wife....
I'm waiting on Eric O. to record the voice on my GPS...
-Ok, let's start, seat belts torqued to factory specs!
-In 200 metres turn right and give it the beans!
-Whoa whoa you missed the exit you son of a monkey!
-Now you have to turn back, you Dorman lover!!!
-Now make a U turn, If I can do it, you can do it!
-You've arrived to your destination, I told you, 1,2, BBQ!
The whoa whoa should have been "holy crap biscuit you missed the turn there little fella."
LOL you nailed it.
- There's your problem lady! Police reported ahead!
After the 1,2, BBQ do we get our brake cleen music fix?
Anti-seize, aka "Satan's Butter". Get a dab on you the size of a pencil eraser and by 5pm you'll look like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz, no matter how careful you try to be.
Aaron Rowland Oh, hell, I love that. So true!
Aaron Rowland your absolutely correct
"Satan's Butter"! I laughed so loudly my wife had to find out what I was laughing about. Good one!
That may be the best name i've ever heard it called! Laughing at my desk, the other guys are looking at me like I am crazy-Mike
Used to work in an electronics factory, and we used white heat sink compound. Just as nasty. People would play pranks by putting it on people's safety glasses on the bridge of the nose piece. Rule number one with that stuff, WIPE IT OFF DRY, DO NOT USE WATER OR IT WON'T COME OFF!
there are negitve side effects to this channel. in my head that dramatic music plays every time I grab brake clean at work...
Mr. Random the other day I called the penetrating fluid panther pee everyone looked at me
Haha I've started to say "There's your problem lady,". My Little boy keeps telling me he's not a lady!!
Whenever I'm working in my garage and I grab brake clean I hum that noise too kind of like the Law & Order "dun dun" sound. I probably look insane if someone was watching me :)
Mine is "torque to spec" every time I tighten a nut or bolt.
Mr. Random haha
I love that when he grabs that ! Some funny shit!!
And this is the kind of Mechanic I want working on my 2015 Ford Escape , very detailed and does everything the way a brake job should be done.👍
Good Mechanic Very Through. Knows His Trade.
Rose clip? Phenolic piston? Torque wrench! What is happening here! lol Good stuff. Thanks Eric!
I know right. What will the people think!?
Time to break out the flux capacitor, haha.
Baxrok2 g
Surprised you busted out the torque wrench. No click sound effects needed!
Just need to mess with people once in a while right haha
@@SouthMainAuto, Eric, please tell us where we can find the sound effect you use for the brake clean intro. Thanks!
One of the first things I do in the morning is to check for new videos. About this time is when my wife is cooking breakfast. If she hears "Eric has a new video" she know's she's eating alone.
My wife made me fish and spinach for b-fast this a.m.
gross lol
breakfast made for you and a video to watch. That's the life of kings right there 😃
Very similar to BMW, sorry I know it's a dirty word lol, and you really should wear a mask. Brake dust is nasty stuff! I'm sure nobody would mind your voice a little muffled for the sake of your health :)
It's a matter of opinion I guess? I'm sure his wife and kids would want him around as long as possible ....
many years ago they were loaded with asbestos and everyone just blasted it away with air hose and let it fly....
@@throttlebottle5906 they still are full of asbestos

Rocking out the videos this week. Thanks Eric!
If I was sure that mechanic would do it this thorough like Eric does, I definitely would not do the brake job myself. Video really shows the method I'd call "can't be better". Well done.
Braking system reminds me of the rear GM first gen w-body brakes. Probably the worse engineering job in the history of disc brakes. 10-12 month life expectancy in Buffalo for those things.
Most state library websites have factory level service information (in Arizona we have Chiltons online) completely free for its citizens. Repair info, wiring diagrams, TSBs. I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of it.
Oh that is a great idea
I (and Eric) live in NY, they don't give you ANYTHING for free here!
Timothy Barney that sucks. Many states offer it. In Arizona you don't even need a library card. Just enter a zip code and you're in!
Here is the link. ezproxy1.azlibrary.gov:2048/login?url=infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/azstatelibdev?db=CHLL
Someone enter 85901 and see if it works in your state.
it worked for me.I live in Virginia
Have you enter thought of a nationwide car repair show, I think your voice in itself is worth millions.
Bahhh no one would watch this crap
Tell than to Scotty Kilmer....
I'm concerned about the air he is breathing!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting that the caliper design and hardware on this Ford is almost identical to the brakes on my son's 2009 BMW 323i which I just did the brakes on. Again Eric thanks for the great videos, I always enjoy and learn.
Those look like ATE brand calipers. Just goes to show they're all made from a parts bin.
"wash it down before giving it back to the wife"
G'day, Mr.O! Another video in a row this week! Amazing! You really knocked that one out, the replacement of front disk brake pads and rotors on a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium. Thank you!! Cheers! :-)
Great video and a huge help when I did the brakes on my wife's 2014 Escape. I am sold on fluid film and the caliper hanger and hub cleaning kit made life so much easier.Thanks for the help!
Hey Eric can you do a video on rear brakes with a car that has a electric emergency brake. I'm interested in learning how to remove and reinstall them without using the scan tool.
Eric
I forgot about the nut and bolts videos. They'll help many of our subscribers. I'm saving for a pico. Should I be interested in the touch screen version? What model of the 4 channel scopes do you recommend? Also have you seen the support of picos from Autonerdz. Where do you recommend my purchase? And most importantly what model Dr.O
What about the other side? LOL Too much fun. Did a Bendix class on brakes many years ago. Nice people. Had a guy in our shop that would throw wheel cylinder kits up in a cubby hole rather than use them. We got into it over something unrelated and he got fired. They never replaced him. Bosses daughter used to pump gas and wash cars and do oil changes in a halter top and Daisy Dukes. Last I heard she was a paralegal. She was HOT even after having kids. Never forget her.
Of course, NOTHING adds more flavor to your Thanksgiving turkey then that ever-so-slight hint of brake fluid in the basting. . . . .!!!!! :-)
Love this guy! well..not love LOVE..but ya know.. I like him. lol
intelligent and funny as hell! keep up with the great vids..I Love em...
well, ...
you know what I mean
And we love you back... but not love LOVE
Not looking forward to my 03 TrailBlazer brakes this weekend,needs new calipers. I really hate what road salt does to those rotors,eats them up every time,groves,pits and really trashes them out. Pretty much every two years on a brake job on the old Trailblazer,not the calipers. First time change for those.Not bad for 200k.
You are sharp as a tack with Auto's but you really missed your calling in the comedy biz.. I'm not a simple person but I leave here laughing my ass off.. Great work on all fronts.
So I have some Duralast gold Brake pads DG 1044 I got from auto zone. To put on my Ford Escape 2013 Se 1.6L all wheel drive and it didn't come with the Clips. The sales person said I don't need it. Is that true?
I have a 2015 Ford Escape, Chilton says to put in service mode and yhen exit after installing brake pads. But theres no emergency brake button on yhe console. So do I pull the emergency break up? Please help becaise no mechanic has dealt with this or mistitles the year of the SUV. Many blessings to you 🙏
You sir, are the brake Guru !!! It's August 2024, and I decided to check and see how the " Guru " would do this ! Great video Mr. O !!!👍👍
All hail big nasty!!!
Eric`s expressions at 4:51 are fantastic for big nasty.
If it weren't for your videos, I'd be very reluctant to repairing and maintaining my cars myself. Of course, for engine, fuel, airbag or transmission issues, I don't mess around and take it to a trusted shop. But for everything else, I feel a bit of confidence giving it a good shot.
I think Big Nasty might need some theme music of her own here soon!
I knew the brake clean was coming, But, I still jumped.
Lol
I just changed my front breaks and am a newbie. It now makes a groaning siren sound when i make a very slow right hand turn in the subdivision or into the driveway etc. Any idea of what i couldve done wrong to have caused this?
I never thought to use a screwdriver to push back the piston. I always tap the caliper off, remove the pad and clean everything before I push the piston back for fear of damaging the rubber and or piston ! on my own cars I completely disassemble the caliper so I can clean and inspect everything, hay why not? While your there go through the whole thing and put a new rubber kit through it, for a few dollars extra its worth the effort.
Why are there 2 sizes of break pads on my Ford Escape XLT v6 2011? How do I know what size to buy?
Do I need to bleed the brakes after changing pads? Trying to do this project myself instead of paying Ford a small fortune.
You did not torque the hex key caliper slide bolts,. Do you know the torque for them. You did mention the torque for the 18mm bracket as 125
How do I make my flashlight fall like that? I can't seem to do that. Only kidding. Thanks for the great video.
I think that brake caliper it's the first thing I've ever actually seen you not torque down.
I just did these, but the wheel is smoking and burning? Any idea what this is? I also see drops of brake fluid.
Do you have to enter the vehicle into the service mode when just doing the front brakes only? Appreciate it Brother
Thanks for the video. I got small Asian hands so I had to super monkey the shit out of that stupid clip. 👍👍👍
F and A I've got to get me that air hammer or whatever that things called. Let me know, 🙏 please. I've got to get one
What kind of air hammer and attachment did you use to take off the rotor? I had a set of rear rotors I could not get off and tried all my tricks. I think I need some air tools
A good idea to step on the brake pedal a few times after putting everything back together to push out the pads. And also good to take the vehicle for a short drive and make a few stops at varing speeds to bead in the pads and check for proper operation and noise.
surely he does that, but good advice to folks watching and doing it themselves, don't need any accidents.
I nearly always do that, except for folks that were "race car drivers" or "mechanics" for years, they like to break in their own brakes :)
Your almost at 100k subscribers 👏🏻
Keep up the great work
If I still lived in Michigan I would break out the big nasty, too!!
how many times I send my cars to the shop, I never seen them lobe as many shit as you did..just wonder if my shop is cutting all the shortcut for my money?
Or they just do not know?
your the best..learn a lot from you
most don't know or don't care, as it's not theirs or they're life at risk ;)
