I replace the rear brakes on a 2015 Ford Fusion. I install all new coated components. They look great through the large spoke rims. All brakes components were purchased from Rock Auto and were Raybestos brand.

how can I bleed the brakes without this tool? and do I need to unscrew the bolt or just remove the cap? very helpful video.

You need two people. Have one person apply the brakes, crack the bleeder screw loose, the pedal should slowly go down, once it stops close the bleeder screw, repeat. Check out my video on the brake master cylinder replacement. I manually bleed the master cylinder, on the truck, with the help of my wife. It will be the same procedure except at the rear brake bleeder screw. Thanks for watching 👍😁

A mechanic told me it costs more because of the electronic e-brake. Apparently, this e-brake unbolts with two Allen head bolts? That's it. Correct? He was mentioning some kind of compressing the brake situation....

While I didn't do it in the video, because it was a brand new caliper, I just watched a 2 minute video illustrating how to put the car into maintenance mode. It electronically backs off the caliper as it advances over time to account for pad wear. Sounds like bologna to me.... Thanks for watching 👍😁

What size Allen key is that, that you used to remove the actuator?

Are we turning the hex key toward the front or the back of the vehicle?

What's the reason for new caliper

@FlatThunder Жыл бұрын

It's not required if the old caliper is in good condition; crank in the piston, clean the slides and away you go. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

2015 ford fusion parking brake and maintenance mode. Caliper won't go back in and I think it not in maintenance mode.

I never utilized maintenance mode. I feel from my perspective I would try disconnecting the electronic actuator from the caliper and manually turning the caliper in. It's essentially the same procedure I performed; remove the actuator from the old caliper and re-install it on the replacement unit. Best of luck and thanks for watching 👍😁

Do you bleed in maintenence mode or take it out of maintenence mode?

@FlatThunder 10 ай бұрын

I did not manipulate the electronics of the system. I bleed the calipers as I would any traditional style caliper and then I cycled the parking brake a few times. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
