2002-2010 Ford Explorer Parking Brake Adjustment

This is the brake drum gauging tool I use in the video-

At this stop we figure out why the parking brake just isn't holding on this Ford Explorer.

Love neon moon in the background. Very helpful video, Thanks

[@mrblanche]

Is that adjuster supposed to self-adjust? If so, under what circumstances? When the brake is applied?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

No

[@i-will-get-you-there]

nice......Just in time as I need to check my 05 EXPED.....
Cheers

[@gogadgo]

Is it the same on a 2013 explorer?

[@griffmillerii1885]

Can you get at the adjuster w/o taking off the rotor? i.e. is there an access hole in the backing plate?

[@Frankh77]

Not on mine

[@n8ureb]

Is there no adjustment window on the back side of the dust guard to adjust the brake when the rotor is installed?

[@WizzRacing]

James Fowler I looked on the last one I did. I didn't see one. As the shoes are for the emergency brake only.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yes there is a knockout kind of like an electrical box but then there's no plug yo seal it. I had to remove the rotor to do a thorough inspection

[@WizzRacing]

FordTechMakuloco Nice to know that. As I was lucky the shoe didn't get caught on the drum
otor lip.

[@Kwils69]

FordTechMakuloco the plug comes in the factory shoe kit.... Never used one yet, lol

Молодец ты супер

[@JUDGERAMBO]

That axle nut , hope u mentioned wheel bearings to the owners.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

JUDGERAMBO Mentioned wheel bearings?

[@JUDGERAMBO]

I seen a few go bad looks like no one has touched that axle nut. I am sure you checked it right . it does have a quick strut on it so some one prob, checked it when that was done. I shake em when I see em, they get pretty loose. its off topic comment from the focus of the vid apologize .

[@grommit700]

Great job!!

[@Blackford86]

This clips are the worst thing Ford came up with I am use to the push and turn keepers and I wonder why there is no auto adjustment anymore like the older fords

[@sacramentallyill]

Neon Moon

[@blackpowder4016]

Bizarre design. Drum brakes inside a disk brake.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Very common, it is called a drum in hat design.
