I just did this job on my 2014 Fusion. As other commenters have pointed out, if you put the car in maintenance mode you can push the piston back into its housing with a screwdriver: just insert this between the old brake pad and the rotor before you remove the caliper, and the piston will slide right back until it is flush with the housing, Remember to first take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir to allow the fluid level to rise.
My rotors, like the ones in the video, had plenty of metal left on so for $30 each I got them skimmed ( as opposed to $100 for new ones). It's worth noting that the discard thickness of the rotors is 9.5 mm (or about 374 thou). If you tell this to the machine shop they can calculate whether there is enough metal to safely machine the rotors.
With 2 trips to the machine shop it took me a morning's work, and a total cost all in of $133.
Good deal man thanks for watching!
Thank you! You saved a lot of time because we didn’t have that square socket. You da man!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching don't for get to SUBSCRIBE!!! I have merch coming if your interested dm me on insta or comment here.
Another way to turn the caliper is to use needle nose pliers in the indents that are there for the special tool. This way you don't have to worry about the boot. But the easiest way is to use parking brake maintenance mode, which some models need a scan tool to use, some can be done by doing a sequence with the gas pedal, the key, and the parking break switch. I see a lot of people saying "you can push it back with your hand in maint mode", and for me that was BS. I still needed a tool, I used a piston pusher similar to the one you made yourself. Just NEVER take it out of maint mode without putting something in there to hold the piston in place. I made this mistake (long story) and my piston over traveled all the way out. Ruined the caliper trying to rotate it and push it back in. I would also suggest cracking the bleeder if using the maint mode method, and putting a drip pan under to catch everything, and maybe a small hose to direct it.
Thanks for the tip much appreciated!
If you put the emergency brake into service mode before you start you won't have to turn it you just push it in from that point
Cool man thanks!
If put in maintenance mode you don't have to turn the piston
Thank you very much for the info. That will be good to know for next time. Thanks for watching!!!
How can i put it on maintenance mode ?

Sir, you just saved the day. Thank you for this video!
Your welcome glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
@@ChadMyers73 I was the other half on this brake job tonight and I also wanted to say thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. We both wholeheartedly appreciate it. We were going to try to compress the cylinder either way (because we ran out of options) but knowing that it had to be spun/screwed in the whole way before we could do so was a nice reassurance. Again thanks so much bud!
No worries!!!
U guys with these videos...I just watch for fun ...I'm ASE CERTIFIED....u guys talk to much just tell your viewer's what to do....smh
Thanks Brother
Thanks for watching!
Im about to do the rotora and brakes all fours dotted slotted rotors
👍👍
Great video good knowledge as well....thank you
Thanks for Watching!
Do the notches on the caliper piston need to align with the notches on the brake pads. I'm doing mine in a few days when my pads and rotors get here.
Yes they do
@@ChadMyers73 thanks bro. I'm doing them tomorrow morning. Got my parts yesterday.
That is a point the video did not make, and I believe, in use, the piston does not turn, because the nubs on the back of the inboard pad engage the recesses on the piston, preventing it's movement There is a screw mechanism that pushes the piston outwards to apply the parking brakes and they are retracted back in by a square cut seal that is there to seal the brake fluid in the caliper. By using the "maintenance mode" the screw mechanism turns in reverse to move away from the piston, but the piston still has to be pushed in manually just like a conventional caliper's piston.
Chad, thank you so much exactly what a was looking now I'm doing my breaks bro..God bless u
Good deal man! Thanks for watching!
FYI for about 15 to 25 dollars you can get a nice Universal Disc Brake Caliper Wind Back Tool. Nice tool to have.
Thanks for watching! I'll check those out and pick one up thanks.
This is true I bought one for $12.80. It’s a really good tool
@@MrDayrock07 are there multiple sizes for the tool? We bought the only one that AutoZone had and none of the options worked. We ended up using a pair of channel locks to spin the cylinder clockwise until it locked up and were able to compress it. Also, someone commented that once the vehicle is in parking brake maintenance mode you do not need to spin the cylinder head at all, any idea if there's any truth to this?
This is true! look for videos on maintenance mode.
@@butters421 .....ua-cam.com/video/QuDCIysYAug/v-deo.html
Is there any procedure to put the electronic park brake in maintenance mode or can I simply remove the caliper per the video ?
Bro work out alittle more and uwpyld look like stone cold stve austin lol lookin good bro
😂🤣
Sir, can you tell me how to find the appropriate (original) rear brake pad model? I want to buy them online, but not sure which one is the original and fit excellent with my ford fusion 2017.
I would go on amazon and add your to your garage. It's usually pretty good at finding the appropriate parts.
Good video thank you.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Is 9.5mm what the rotor can be turned to, or the minimum thickness before condemning?
Cool thanks!
Chad I have a 2015 Ford Fusion SE we did rear brakes the mechanic used a laptop to put the car in maintenance mode he changed brakes but my brake peddle in going to the floor now. I need to bleed the line or put the car in maintenance mode in the car? Help
I would start with bleeding them.
Chad Myers73 it worked bleed all 4 peddle good now thanks again
How many miles, I have a 2010 fusion mine looked just like those at 15,000 miles.
Thanks for watching! I’m not sure how many miles he had on those pads.
I have 49,800 on my 2018 fusion hybrid brakes are still good
Hello Chad, is a 2018 fusion Hybrid any different? Thank you
I’m sorry I’m not 100% sure. Thanks For Watching!
2017 hybrid was exactly like this. Put in maintenance mode and it takes about 20 mins per side.
