This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2011-2019 Ford Explorer. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This repair was done on a 2018 Ford Explorer Sport 3.5L AWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2011 Ford Explorer
2012 Ford Explorer
2013 Ford Explorer
2014 Ford Explorer
2015 Ford Explorer
2016 Ford Explorer
2017 Ford Explorer
2018 Ford Explorer
2019 Ford Explorer

Just a note to let everyone know that maybe a little clearer. When you were compressing caliper, the tool fits into slots and does not just push piston, but it turns the piston in a clockwise direction, allowing it to retract. This type can not be pushed like with a c-clamp. Thanks
Thank you. We are a family of four and we are always looking for a way to manage our expenses.
I'm a novice, however, over the weekend, using your video I was able to view every step to do a complete brake job.
Thank you so much!
Excellent how-to video. This was extremely helpful in completing this exact work on my wife's vehicle today. Thanks!
I am from Iraq and I have benefited from this site a lot, thanks my friends.
this is an excellent video. I have 1 criticism. If you could explain why you have to position the piston a certain way it would help. It mates with the pin in the back of the pad and will knock the pad askew if it isn't in the slotted area. Otherwise, thanks for great instruction.
Outstanding video. Did the brakes on my Explorer this morning, no surprises,
Best how to video I ever Watched hands down! VERY WELL DONE I WILL FOLLOW YOU for all my how tos!
on my 2016 Explorer XLT rear brakes, I could not get the caliper piston to rotate inward with the tool with the bleeder open or the cover off the master cylinder. The emergency brake is off as well. I have not started on the other side but want to fix the drivers side if possible. Any help would be appreciated.
Excellent! One of the few videos sources that I would need to watch other videos to understand the full process! Well done!
I have two questions.
So you don't take the cap off the master cylinder container before you start working?
And do you not have to press the brake so the pads sit correctly before putting the tire back on?
Did u tighten the bleeder screw at some point after letting it bleed because i noticed u opened it again to bleed?….
would not opening bleeder valve result in needing to pump the brakes to get rid of the air after?
Nice best brake job video I have ever seen!
Can you share the link to the lock tight used, it looks like a silicone or thicker style than I am use to seeing
I just changed my brake pads on my 2013 Explorer
I do have a question about the piston for the rear
will it need twisting it back or will it decompress by itself?
Does anyone know why my rear calipers piston won’t retract all the way, no matter how much I spin it 😢
Also whats the size of the bleeder screw the video says just loosen bleeder screw well what wrench did you use
Silicone lube on the brake pads! Should have cleaned or changed your gloves first.
Very well made and informative. Thanks
So what do u do when u snap the head off of that t 40 bit with electric or pneumatic bolt
What kind of mechanic gloves do you use or recommend?
Fantastic job. Great instructional!
Do you have a link for the caliper piston compressor?
Why was the bleeder valve open for?
Awesome video, thanks!!!
Why do u lossen the bleeder screw
I guess you never changed brakes from the rust belt i dare u to put a pneumatic on that t 40 normally i put a torch for about 30 minutes before putting any t 40
