The rotor removal demo was a huge help. I beat on mine for 20 minutes before I went to the hardware store to get the proper bolt to pop it off. Took a few seconds once I did, thanks. Great video!
I definitely appreciated this video! I replaced the back rotors on my Expedition and this helped save me time and my husband was very thankful that I was so handy!
BOY I WISH I HAD SEEN YOUR VIDEO OF MY INITIAL SEARCH ! ! ! I have watched several videos regarding the caliper bolts and caliper bracket bolts. You are the only person of the videos I’ve watched that verbally expressed the needed tools and size to remove loosen and remove the bolts. THANK YOU ! ! Caliper bolts front - 9mm hex Caliper bolts rear - 7mm hex Caliper bracket bolts - 18mm socket Have you created a video for replacing the wheel hub assembly for the same vehicle type ?
got a 2010, mines a 14mm hex head bolt into the threaded pins. 21mm on the bracket bolts here... Thanks for the video. Mine rotors used m8x1.50 bolts to pop the rotors off
I’ve seen one other video that also indicated that the caliper bracket bolt head is a 21mm. Guess some have 18mm and others are 21mm caliper bracket bolts.
Always enjoy your videos. I remember the first video I ever watched of yours was how to remove an old Audi A4 door trim panel and been watching ever since 😉😁
My drivers side front caliper pistons wouldn’t retract and push the fluid back up. Pretty sure my biasing valve is bad as when I let off the brake pedal my drivers brake pads drag.
My front R rubber brake line collapsed on the inside, which would allow the fluid to go into the caliper, but not back out, causing the brake to seize. I replaced the caliper because I thought it was seized, no luck, then I replaced the line, fixed my seized brake problem. I would try the line first since that's easiest and cheapest.
Great video, mate! On those caliper bracket stretch bolts, what's the replacement size, etc.? No matter what I search, I can't figure it out, and I'd really like to have the new bolts on-hand before I do the job.
I have an 09 and it has 9mm hex heads…. I just ran to the parts store from this video to buy hex heads and to my surprise it wasn’t a 7mm. And the variety pack I bought is 4-10 excluding a 9 lol. 20 more minutes. Just saying
Ayee You might not have compressed the caliper enough but that’s no big deal, it should work itself out once you drive around a little. Go for a short test drive, then lift both wheels off the ground and compare how they spin. There should be a little free play before you feel the driveline resistance also. Worst case if it’s still abnormally difficult to spin within that free play threshold and with the wheel on, the caliper could be seized.
Bro, purty decent info on the swap-out BUT. You could have been a little more informative on the "step-by-step" process..just my opinion.€All in all, I could follow your vid & get the job done..Tell ur audience to make sure to wipe off any excess on the new rotor,d "forien substances" before installing pads..,ect..
Heh, be happy your not working on a fleet issue. Those stupid rear calipers have the screw in pistons which you cannot even buy new calipers for the fleet issue.
Am I the only one who replaces the caliper slide boots and rubber parts after 17 years? They turn to slag. And on these brakes, replacing those boots is a horrible job. Oh, guess that's why he didn't do it. Not a great idea to leave 17 year old rubber parts on your brakes.

What size?? I spent 3 hours before opening UA-cam to see if I'm doing something wrong.
18mm @@artiomtrankovsky7849

Thanks man. Perfect. I like videos that get to what I'm actually looking for and not a bunch of bullshit. I appreciate it.
Same here!
Great video. Thanks for adding the torque specs. The editing cuts the video down where a lot of them show minutes of people turning wrenches etc 😂👍

Caliper bolts front - 9mm hex

Caliper bracket bolts - 18mm socket
Have you created a video for replacing the wheel hub assembly for the same vehicle type ?
I went by the video the video is good however my front pins are not 9 mm and it is a 2007 expedition.
Good job..and photography was very clear
Thank you for this video very helpful
Great video! Helped me pull off the rotors!!!!
What size bolt??
Excellent video! Subscribed!
3/8-16 thread pitch for the rotor holes
thanks!
You are the man…..big thanks!!!
You're the real MVP
Just to be certain, this size is referencing the bolts to assist the rotor removal ?
Question bout to get a 07 one and wanted to know is it rotors all around
should be
got a 2010, mines a 14mm hex head bolt into the threaded pins. 21mm on the bracket bolts here... Thanks for the video. Mine rotors used m8x1.50 bolts to pop the rotors off

Guess some have 18mm and others are 21mm caliper bracket bolts.
You just remove those two bolts from the bracket and you don't have to remove the caliper just the bracket with the caliper still attached.
Always enjoy your videos. I remember the first video I ever watched of yours was how to remove an old Audi A4 door trim panel and been watching ever since 😉😁
I suspected it was an Audi video, as you have a nice Audi. Thanks for sticking with my videos! :)
The OEM caliper pins are 9mm hex. Many replacements are 7mm.
rear are 7
Hmmmmmm ? Interesting.
I dont think you showed how you put the outter pad nor the anti vibration tiny spring thing on
Thanks, always enjoy your projects, well done :)
thanks very much!

What size bolt for the rotor to pop?
What’s the twerk specs for the bracket and pins for the calipers
Cool video thanks

They are not stretch bolts. Just apply sealant to threads and torque
That was the first time I have heard of stretch bolts.

nobody has one
Great video! Just what I needed. But man, gets some thick disposable gloves dog :D
Your significant other will thank you
it's 9mm Hex front, but 7mm rear.
On my 2008, it's a 7 mm for the front.
@@meelays Ford Motorcraft are 9mm Allen bolts (whose socket isn't easy to find), most China replacements are 7mm.
My cal pins had a solid rubber cover, no way to get to the hex bolts!! No plugs were in kit???
the caps don't come off?
@@aDIYCarGuy My bad!!!! Being 81 I didn't see the fine line of the cap. My granddaughter squeezed it and off it popped. DON"T GET OLD!!!!!
@@nicknoneya2604 No worries, just don't lose the caps like I have done lol
mine went under the truck somewhere.@@aDIYCarGuy
What if the rotor on the front is too stiff to rotate after you put the caliper back on?
Ayee You might not have compressed the caliper enough but that’s no big deal, it should work itself out once you drive around a little. Go for a short test drive, then lift both wheels off the ground and compare how they spin. There should be a little free play before you feel the driveline resistance also.

And of course I spend an hour looking for the dang #9 hex wrench. All my sets go from 8-10. Bullcrappery at its finest.
nobody has that one
So, i still dont know if it's a 7 or 9...
well figure it out
Right. Sverybody just skips the clips huh? Lmao
totally lol

I've never once had to replace those on any car, guess I've been lucky
Same here. 👍🏽
