Excellent, comprehensive, and thorough video! Thank you kindly. I have done brake changes before, but it's been awhile. I am getting ready to change the brakes on my 2013 F150 and feel very confident in doing so having watched this video and been refreshed on the process and how to do it RIGHT. You have helped someone today who is extremely grateful. Peace and best regards to you. 🙂
Just finished the rear set. Thanks for the great video. Took me about 1hr per rotor because I'm a newbie but worth the $500 I saved from labor at the shop
Omg‼️GREAT INSTRUCTIONS ON THE COMPLETE BRAKE JOB‼️. ONE OF THE BEST YET ON INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS EDUCATING ‼️IF YOU PAY ATTENTION,YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ‼️. I'll be watching you more brother ‼️ 🤜THANK💥YOU🤛
I don't know if it is necessary but I always take the brake fluid reservoir cap off before compression the piston. I cover it with a clean rag so no contaminates get in there. Bleeding the brakes is preferable too. I have a Mitre on man kit for the brake bleeding. The ratcheting caliper wrench is well worth the money.
You're supposed to open the bleeder when compressing those brake calipers you can destroy your anti-lock brake system if you don't do it. You don't want to be pushing back on the anti-lock brake system also sending in dirty fluid back into the system
The emergency brake on the truck uses the inside of the the rotor as a “drum brake”. Sometimes if a piece of hardware wears a little to much or fails it may expand the shoes of the emergency brake to the inside of the rotor. Patience is a virtue and work it back and forth little at a time. Be prepared to replace the components of the emergency brake and swing away. Lol.
Very Well done....Except...BLEED THE BRAKES !! The bleed screw is very conveniently located. First. Pushing the piston in pushes fluid against and past the seals in the master cylinder. Not good. Second, the only nasty, burnt fluid you see when you bleed the brakes is the first fluid that is stuck in the caliper piston and has hot cycled in there for years. Bleeding pushes fresh fluid in the piston. Otherwise , great job. TXS.
Yeah don't bleed the break system unless you're replacing the break calipers . Ford and GM both do not recommend bleeding for a simple pad and rotor replacement.
I see you put the tire underneath the truck my dad told me that when I was like 10 years old just in case the Jack slid off it would probably save your life if you were under it has it ever slipped off on you in the tire save you
Very informative video! But yes, you should crack the bleeder screw before compressing the caliper pistons. Also, that hat is freakin filthy man, looks like you got a big brown shit stain right there in the middle of it. Some Tide might help clean that right up, and make that hat nice and Red again! That beautiful bird on the bat always seems to turn nasty blue when it gets dirty, and a big shit stain in the shape of a C always seems to appear.

Great educational brake video that is very easy to follow! Thanks!
Yes it was. I was impressed
Great job. Anti seize on the bolt threads makes it so much easier the next time. Just my preference.
Superb narrative! Well done! Bravo!
Nice video!! This will be easy to follow. Well done, Sir!
It certainly was

Good vid, used it to do my 13' F150
Have you had any problems with it? He missed one step so I'm curious how it went without doing it
thanks for your video it was very helpful for my brake change
Great video thanks man !
I like the video, but it would be nice to have a list of the tools being used. Especially the one you use to push the piston back into the caliper.
That is called a disk brake spreader tool , I’ve also seen people use the old brake pad and a c clamp to push the piston back in.
Thanks very much for the helpful video
Awesome video brother.
you made that very easy thx
Great video thanks
Great video.

Make a video and show us how to do it.
@@neotheseattledj too late I already did mine
You make it look easy
I am currently fighting back rotors to come off

@@c.a.r.unlimited3638 what's the piston tool you used called? That would be a huge improvement on the C-clamp I use.

Ford recommend not to bleed unless there is leak. Bleeding can hurt lines and creates problems with ABS as per San Tan ford .

What about opening the reservoir cap while pushing in the caliper?
excellent..thank you.
That poor ratchet. Good video, thanks.
Are those Z17 power stop pads? Thanks
What tool is that? Do you use to release the pressure from the brake piston so that you can get the caliper back on??
I recommend turning the wheel so you the angle is facing you.
Is there anything different I should do with a 4x4? or will this tutorial work with it?
What mileage was the rears due on this truck?

Don't need no tool list it's easy to figure out yall trippin
