I do a brake job that 4 shops will not do because of the ABS ring. That is part of the job replacing rotors and they refuse to do it. I get it done when nobody else can.
After having to replace the brakes on our 1994 Tioga it had a damaged abs ring from prior brake jobs was unable to locate abs tone ring decided to upgrade brakes to a 2000 e350 replaced spindles and calipers new hoses much better setup larger rotor used powerstop rotors also installed new abs sensors and the abs system works great 👍 cost was 100 for spindles from wrecking yard calipers from advanced 65 each new hoses 20 each powerstor rotors when bought was 300 for the set with pads single piece no hub to swap parts over wish I could show some photos last was a wheel alignment 120 highly recommended if your needing better brakes thanks for showing this video was very helpful with my rv brakes
@josh2896 it would still work without abs but you need spindles with anchor plates new calibers rotors and lines for a 2000+ I spent alot of time researching this checking part numbers with ford to make sure it was compatible the spindles can be used off a e350 single axle that's what I used much better braking overall very happy with newer style brakes 😀
@josh2896 Warped rotors are common I've have to have two sets of powerstop rotors turned also these RVs are very heavy which does not help I did check your brake rotors are the same as a 1994 which you could upgrade to 2000-2005 doesn't matter about abs or not just one less thing to install I do like not having to reuse the old hub if you have an email I could share some photos of upgrade install
I can see why people don't want to work on those ABS brake rotors after all the trouble you had getting those rings off! Also thanks for the tutorial on how to properly pack a wheel bearing. The grease on the camera lens just made the video seem more authentic so don't worry about it. I'm looking forward to more videos in the near future. Big thumbs up!
Wayne im glad to see somebody else using synthetic wheel bearing grease,its the best in my opinion.been a truck mech 42 yrs and have seen grease get better and better, but people want to cheap out and use chassis grease. like watching im a class A mech so its good to watch you im learning see ya.
Thank you for the great video. I was having a hard time finding the torque specs so watching your whole video give me a lot more confidence that I’m putting it back together correctly. I really do appreciate guys like you to put the effort into filming it putting the clips together. I like your straight talk keep up the good work
Wow Wayne, you are terrific! I love watching your videos, you're so thorough. I live in L.A. California, but if I didn't have my own mechanic and something was wrong with my car, I'd have to drive all the heck up to where you live because good, honest mechs. are difficult to find nowadays. I drive am XB Scion-4 cyln. 2006. I keep her tuned & whatever she may need pretty often. I'm good to her, she's good to me. Take care~ hope you get your 10,000 subs soon!
To some, this video might be a bit boring. But to the people that want to be safe on the road, this was very detailed and extremely interesting! I would trust you with my vehicle any day! The simple things could save your life!! Thank you, Wayne!
Thanks for a very informative video, very valuable info there! Looking forward to the solar series hope to pick up some pointers there also. Hope the new year is good to you.
Awesome video Wayne! I'm a New Subscriber" well, recently anyway. I follow The Nomadic Fanatic Eric, great information on how to install front brake rotors and pack wheel bearings correctly!👍👍😎
I found at O'Reilly's Auto Parts Raybestos brake pads last a pretty good in my 90 Ford F-250 truck but they don't sell them anymore due to people thinking they have asbestos in them
I really wish I lived closer to you. Maybe someday when my obligations here free me up I will be able to take a trip for you to do repairs on my RV. I love that you show us the repairs you do. Thank you!
Great job on greasing, The old ways are the best ways. I be doing a full break job my 89 Leisure craft in the spring. To cold here in Michigan right now at 9 degrees. Looking forward to the rear and solar power videos
I have an 1994 e350 four wind 5000 series,with same rotor brake cracked too, where did you get your parts ? AutoZone didn't find any info for it. Not even with the vin number. From where you get the parts?, I'm in Colorado, thanks, and Great video
*Why didn't you show how the ABS ring came off and why not show us you putting one back on? The video's description is to show us how to replace an ABS ring that no one else can do and then you don't show how? Please answer the question, I posted it days ago*
I did answer that question in another commet below. I showed part of it and to reinstall the ring you would heat it up and tap it back on. I dont show all my tricks for everything as that some of them can be tricky and you can damage things. It is best to let someone that knows how to do something do it.
Why didn't you show how the ABS ring came off and why not show us you putting one back on? The video's description is to show us how to replace an ABS ring that no one else can do and then you don't show how?
The ABS ring that you are talking about would that be the reason I sometimes get the ABS light on my 1994 Tiago Montana RV. It comes on while driving periodically and when I turn the engine off and then back on the light goes out
@@rvprepperwayne Thanks for the reply. I have taken this in to a few places with no luck in getting it fixed. Either they didn't want to troubleshoot it and fix it or they just didn't know what to do. Is there a way to test or check to see if this is the problem? Is this a DIY project? Can you tell me where to find the sensor? Thanks again in advance.
I wanted to see how you pressed that abs ring back on. My rear abs light comes on and goes off randomly on mine. Basically same unit you are working on.
I have a question I put new calibers and brake pads and new rotors with new bearings and the front driver side wheel still really hard to turn and it smokes what could be causing this
My mechanic is searching for the whole rotor & hub unit because he doesn’t want to pull off the abs ring, etc. will I be able to find the whole unit to order, or will I have to find someone to do what you did? In Northern California with one crack so far.
Age and being a big RV there is more heat build up when breaking and that can cause them to crack. Also a hot rotor that is hit with water can cause cracking too.
Very talented, Wayne.....I've seen u do a multitude of RV repairs from mechanical to electrical....U could teach a school on RV repairs, which is kinda what these videos do. I hope u are making a good living with the skills u have. I hope u reach that 10K mark....Stay positive and keep those vids coming.
OEM manufacturers are lowering weight by reducing thickness and using material that weighs less. Thus the cracking, warping, etc. Often rotors can't be turned at all and need to be replaced at first warpage. Good idea to go away from OEM for replacements due to this. Fed gov standards for fuel economy create need to reduce weight/fuel use and thus the issues.
A Day : So how do you know to not use OEM replacement? That is not good. So basically the brake rotors can't be turned and more once they go bad they are just garbage. Wow.
Yes, and to prove it I'll correct your question, " Hey Rvprepper Wayne, Did they have school when you was a kid?" The answer is "Yes they did". Thanks for watching.
Did you put back on the ABS? I was recently working on my 94’ ford Rotors while working the ABS rim cracked and broke. I’ve been everyone looking to replace the part. Dealer doesn’t have it nor auto places. What should I do? Is the ABS really important to put back on ?
I don't recall where I ordered them from. I know it took a lot of phone calls to find them. I think I got them from anideko.com I would recommend having them on but you can drive without them on. Your ABS light may stay on.
Hello Wayne nice video one question you don’t put any thread lock on the retaining bolts for the roter to spindle I always use the blue thread llockjust to be sure they don’t back out They do from the factory
Somebody who actually knows how to pack bearings. I have taught at least a dozen so called professional mechanics how to do it this way,the correct way. I'm old and don't work on my own shit anymore but I always watch to make sure they do it right.
Barry and Tiggers World : I had to cross train at the motor pool when I was in the Army. What do you think they had me do? Clean and pack bearings! It was messy but not that bad! It was a good day!
Hi Wayne, I hope you enjoy all the best that the New Year has to offer I've got a question; What causes those cracks in the rotors. I'd like to avoid them. Thank you in advance.
You take a big chance working on brakes you don't look like the kind of fella that would have any type of liability insurance just hope nobody has an accident they'll sue you for your trailer .
Thanks i have a 94 e350 brake job done a yr ago by just brake and they bought all from Napa auto cheep crap . Shaking again . Does that madder cheep brakes or buy from ford ?
I have used Duralast gold brakes on countless of autos and never have had an issue. Not all of Napa's stuff is top quality. I would have the rotors turned and use the Autozone Duralast Gold brake pads. Never skimp on quality of parts when it comes to brakes. Your life, and everyone's around you depend on it.
Hey Wayne, if you are interested I might have a project for you,actually I need help. Bought my first r.v it's a 1996 class b ford honorbuilt Eldorado, i have money for parts and labor,nobody in ks wants to mess with it. Problems are as following, first of mechanically it runs good drove it from wichita ks to kansas city Missouri, guy I bought it from said it was winterized at time of purchase, generator will not start, has 80%propane in tank (according to tank valve) can't figure out how to get the house heater started. The tank gauges do not register, and the a.c.unit needs a new shroud, and im not sure if the water pump in the coach is good. Any help or idea's would be appreciated thank you.
rvprepperwayne now i just watch a seris that autozone advanced vip buy cheap china product there rotors and drums are of less quality are about a few pounds lighter) i know alot mechanics i talked to them about eric problem brakes they order a real rotor federated i think had me go to auto zone get the same rotor a rotor from federated weighed 1.2 pounds heavier then autozone they say it junk this like 20 mechanics
Do you think you'll need to have the rear brake drums turned out of the box? Just thinking of what Eric had to go thru on Nomadic Fanatic with his rear drums.
CoolCat Carolena i doubt if a cracked rotor would show symptoms as a result of the cracks. The cracks would most likely be discoverable through a visual inspection only.

I'd be down to see this but I don't have abs
@josh2896 it would still work without abs but you need spindles with anchor plates new calibers rotors and lines for a 2000+ I spent alot of time researching this checking part numbers with ford to make sure it was compatible the spindles can be used off a e350 single axle that's what I used much better braking overall very happy with newer style brakes 😀
@roadrescue829 yeah I'm fighting with the warped rotors on my 93 no ABS though. Bravo for going to that effort and being successful
@josh2896 Warped rotors are common I've have to have two sets of powerstop rotors turned also these RVs are very heavy which does not help I did check your brake rotors are the same as a 1994 which you could upgrade to 2000-2005 doesn't matter about abs or not just one less thing to install I do like not having to reuse the old hub if you have an email I could share some photos of upgrade install
Hooray for my 85 E350, no ABS ring to mess with.
Good job Wayne. You know how to pack bearings. Thanks for the demo!!
Nice one Wayne you are a good man and this video an interesting lesson particularly around greasing bearings
I can see why people don't want to work on those ABS brake rotors after all the trouble you had getting those rings off! Also thanks for the tutorial on how to properly pack a wheel bearing. The grease on the camera lens just made the video seem more authentic so don't worry about it. I'm looking forward to more videos in the near future. Big thumbs up!

Where's is the part of you installing the new ABS ring? Great video. Thanks

To some people grease is just grease. I'm glad I can teach with what I am doing. Thank You for watching
I used mobile 1 bearing grease when i replaced my wheel bearings 10 years ago.. Well, it's been 10 years. :)
Awesomeness master Wayne. Got a like and subscribe from me. I'm driving a e350 chinook class b.
Thank you for the great video. I was having a hard time finding the torque specs so watching your whole video give me a lot more confidence that I’m putting it back together correctly.

there is no abs ring there’s a rotor in the shape of a ring but that’s about it an and ring is the lil ring on an axle that has notches in it
To some, this video might be a bit boring. But to the people that want to be safe on the road, this was very detailed and extremely interesting! I would trust you with my vehicle any day! The simple things could save your life!! Thank you, Wayne!
Thank You Bill.
Packing bearings is so rewarding.
Another job well done by Wayne. Keep on turning wrenches buddy.
Thank you.
Turning Wrenches i
Thanks for a very informative video, very valuable info there! Looking forward to the solar series hope to pick up some pointers there also. Hope the new year is good to you.
Awesome video Wayne! I'm a New Subscriber" well, recently anyway. I follow The Nomadic Fanatic Eric, great information on how to install front brake rotors and pack wheel bearings correctly!👍👍😎
great video. Thanks. but where is the rear drum brake part? did I miss something?
I found at O'Reilly's Auto Parts Raybestos brake pads last a pretty good in my 90 Ford F-250 truck but they don't sell them anymore due to people thinking they have asbestos in them
Excellent tutorial! I plan on inspecting my rotors when the weather breaks in April... Looking forward to future videos. Cheers!
Great video Wayne, Happy New Year!!! Looking forward to more of your good down home common sense and wisdom in the coming year. Thanks.
I think you do great work. Your customers are lucky to have you as resource.
Thanks, you saved me a huge amount of grief! This is Not a DIY!!! I'm 71, I will save up the $. Can't do it anymore, really, Thanks✌.
Wayne gettin' it done old school.
Your a professional ! Nice job. 👍
what a nice job..keep it up..way to go.
Thank you
I guess you didn't show the drum brake job in the rear.
they are called pads not shoes
I really wish I lived closer to you. Maybe someday when my obligations here free me up I will be able to take a trip for you to do repairs on my RV. I love that you show us the repairs you do. Thank you!
Great job on greasing, The old ways are the best ways. I be doing a full break job my 89 Leisure craft in the spring. To cold here in Michigan right now at 9 degrees. Looking forward to the rear and solar power videos
Cool
He never showed the abs ring going on
BRAVO Wayne you are Awesome, here's 2 👍thumbs up to you Sir.
What a job you did !
Wayne, I''ll be looking forward to your solar video's!
👍👍👌 great job Wayne.

Awesome how to video again Wayne...

You may have a failing abs sensor

I wanted to see how you pressed that abs ring back on. My rear abs light comes on and goes off randomly on mine. Basically same unit you are working on.
I heated it up and had to tap it back on. You might want to check if the rear brakes need replacing or need to be adjusted.
Thanks I really am not a fan of the abs . I like the old style better. less that can go wrong.
I have a question I put new calibers and brake pads and new rotors with new bearings and the front driver side wheel still really hard to turn and it smokes what could be causing this
Sounds like a bad brake line. I suggest replacing both of them. Also make sure that the bearing nut is not too tight.
My mechanic is searching for the whole rotor & hub unit because he doesn’t want to pull off the abs ring, etc. will I be able to find the whole unit to order, or will I have to find someone to do what you did? In Northern California with one crack so far.
here we have standards on parts. if they last as long as eachother is another thing
GOOD SAVE!
Nothing nice about cracks in rotors, 400 miles on those? Sheesh! My advice? Stay well clear of old RV's on the highway! Nice video Wayne!
Thats why he brought it to me. Nobody wanted to touch it.
Nicely done!
Any idea what would cause cracks like that? Defective rotor?
Age and being a big RV there is more heat build up when breaking and that can cause them to crack. Also a hot rotor that is hit with water can cause cracking too.

Thanks I find this stuff so interesting and you explain it so well. 😂

Yes, and to prove it I'll correct your question, " Hey Rvprepper Wayne, Did they have school when you was a kid?" The answer is "Yes they did". Thanks for watching.
nice work
Nice, I am going through the same job now. Was wondering how to get the tone ring off..

Qué quieres decir
Great job!! Where are you located just in case I need your help.
for now in Panama city fl.
Vids are gettin good! Great tips on the bearing grease process- Thanks!
Part number s on parts . Ford will not touch my 94 . So I'll order online if I can
Autozone will be able to look up the parts you need.
Hello Wayne nice video one question you don’t put any thread lock on the retaining bolts for the roter to spindle I always use the blue thread llockjust to be sure they don’t back out They do from the factory
If it is torqued there should be no need for it. I have never seen and on the bolts from the factory.
Somebody who actually knows how to pack bearings. I have taught at least a dozen so called professional mechanics how to do it this way,the correct way. I'm old and don't work on my own shit anymore but I always watch to make sure they do it right.
Old school works every time.

Wayne or anyone-i have a 1994 e350 and the abs ring was welded back together by the previous owner, i cant find a replacement ring-any suggestions?
You will be very lucky to find them. search for 'ABS Reluctor Ring'
Hi Wayne, I hope you enjoy all the best that the New Year has to offer
I've got a question; What causes those cracks in the rotors. I'd like to avoid them. Thank you in advance.
Wayne, great video. What was the nam again on those brake pads ?
You've got skills!
STELLAR Job, Wayne !!!!!!!
What your not going to the RTR???🤔 Look nice clean shaven! 👍
You take a big chance working on brakes you don't look like the kind of fella that would have any type of liability insurance just hope nobody has an accident they'll sue you for your trailer .
R E : Can't he just have them sign a release from liability? That is what I would do.
Just subscribed great video have a happy New Year drive safe out there
Thank you.
Thanks i have a 94 e350 brake job done a yr ago by just brake and they bought all from Napa auto cheep crap . Shaking again . Does that madder cheep brakes or buy from ford ?
nomadic Hobos I would do ford oem on that.

rvprepperwayne : Great advice! Nothing is more precious than your life!
Hi Wayne. Did you get my email message?
Yes James I did. Ill reply to you shortly.
You never showed the ABS ring coming off.....
Wayne, appreciate this video. You show real world stuff and not the easy stuff some others show.
What do you think caused the cracks in the old disks?
Possibly age and heat. A hot rotor that is hit with cold water can cause them to crack.
Great Video would trust you to work on my vehicles anytime
Video was well done: good explanations.
Love you and your video s your are a great mechanic
rvprepperwayne: What causes those cracks at 2.29 ?
Excessive heat will cause those cracks.
Happy New year
What are the symptoms of the cracked rotors? Is it much difference driving feel than a warped rotor? Shake in the steering wheel when braking?
It will feel about the same as warped rotors.
Hi, I have questions but my first is how much does a1994 E350 series rv weigh? I'm about to buy a used one.
Hey Wayne, if you are interested I might have a project for you,actually I need help.

Please E-Mail me you number and I'll call you. rvpreper@gmail.com
vip or autozone or advanced auto rotor
Autozone. I don't like Advanced
rvprepperwayne now i just watch a seris that autozone advanced vip buy cheap china product there rotors and drums are of less quality are about a few pounds lighter) i know alot mechanics i talked to them about eric problem brakes they order a real rotor federated i think had me go to auto zone get the same rotor a rotor from federated weighed 1.2 pounds heavier then autozone they say it junk this like 20 mechanics
where did you find the part?
Do you think you'll need to have the rear brake drums turned out of the box? Just thinking of what Eric had to go thru on Nomadic Fanatic with his rear drums.
I don't think you would need to.
Wayne, how do you charge? Do you do an assessment and then a bid, or by the hour?
I price them by the job.
Still no sticker bud and my paypal said you recieved my payment. Come on man i help support your channel man
Pm me your address. I might have wrote it down incorrectly. Ill make it right with you.
Top Notch work Wayne as always, 2 Thumbs up!
That's scary. I have a 94 Dodge class B...how do you know if the breaks are cracked?
CoolCat Carolena i doubt if a cracked rotor would show symptoms as a result of the cracks. The cracks would most likely be discoverable through a visual inspection only.
Look at them
Thank you!
I agree with Michael. You also might feel a bad shake while braking or you see excessive brake dust.
rvprepperwayne : What does excessive brake dust look like? Big fan! Love your channel and the content!
Great job and excellent video .😎
Well done from the U.S. version of Edd China!
