I just wanna say thanks a hell of a lot brother! This was the only video dealing exactly with my truck! Most of the other videos were 4x4 and didn't even mention there was a difference! I ended up breaking my brother's breaker bar on it, and his impact wrench didn't work either. But thanks to your video I got my confidence back, and got the job done! Now to go buy my brother a new breaker bar, but I think I will buy him a better one! lol

Bro just wanted to say thank you. This video saved me over $500 and allowed me to learn a lot more about truck. It also taught me not to go cheap on a breaker bar since I snapped mine throwing on the second spindle nut. P.s. if your rotor is rusted on use some of the black can wd40 all over then start going back and forth with a rubber mallet. Hammer works too but the mallet saves your ears and let's you do it at 11:30p without waking the neighbors

This is the best video out here on 2004-2008 f150 rotor replacement. Its perfect directions and easy to follow. Even the Pro videos dont cover this info, great job, thanks for saving me a boat/truck load of cash.

After tightening the spindle nut to 295 lb , rotate the rotor counter clockwise 5 times, then retorque the spindle nut again, very important

For those asking about bearings, they are sealed type & included with the rotor. You cant replace them separately with genuine or OEM replacement rotors.

I just replaced the rotors and pads on my 2007 F150 yesterday following your videos. Everything seems to have worked fine. Thanks!

Nice video, 295 ft lbs of torque is a 100 lb force 3 ft out, or 150 lbs force, 2 ft out. No special torque wrench is needed. 295lbs divided by your weight in lbs x 12" = inches out on you breaker bar with all of your weight pressing down on the bar.

Awesome DIY, brothaman! Straight to the point and not like the other videos I came across, where the guys seemed to love to hear themselves talk.

Thank you for putting this video up. Only one ive found about the 04-08 2wd f150s. Gonna tackle this job this weekend. I read it took 295 and not 200 on the tq.

Centric makes a hub assembly that is separate from the rotor. So now you use floating rotors like the 4wd application. This gives you options for slotted & drilled rotors.

Great video. I watched it several times and then replaced the front rotors and brake pads on my '05 F-150. Everything went just as shown and demonstrated in the video. Took me about 1.5 hours per side including jacking and positioning jack stands, removing tire, removing caliper and break pads, cleaning all the components, removing the spindle nut and rotor, more cleaning, and then reassembling in the reverse order with new pads. First time I have ever replaced front rotors so I was probably a lot slower than someone who has done this before. Thanks for the video, BroHandy!

I was thinking, hmmm.. that guy sounds familiar. Then I realized it's because I watch all your videos on Sailbros! Thanks for the help

Thanks for taking the time to video the replacement. Great camera set up and equally good resolution.

Simple, good camera angles, & not too much blah ....good job!😎

Just what I was looking for. Thanks! Great camera angles and good lighting.

Thank you for the video. I changed both of my front rotors and brake pads by this video.

I know it's been awhile since you made this, but it came in clutch for me this morning. Thank you!

Great Video…Nice camera work, very clear…Appreciate you

Thanks a ton for the video, I'm going to use it to install my new 360 Performance Rotors!

Awesome DIY, brothaman. Straight forward without all the nonsense.

Thanks for the video! Good angle and guidance!

Thanks for making this video! You made it so simple!

Great DIY, brothaman. Straight forward without all the nervous chatter.

thanks man. gonna tackle this on my 150 this weekend. and great effin camera btw. major clarity holy s

For being 11 years ago This is a Great quality video. And Very to the point. Great vid 👌🏼

Awesome! Thanks! My notes: even with 24" breaker bar, that spindle nut wouldnt budge. I put a jack under the end of the handle on breaker bar - that did it. Stood on the 2 foot Bar to tighten.

before taking the caliper off use your screwdriver as a pry in between the pad and rotor and push the pistons back in saves time and makes it much easier.

Nice video, thanks! Funny, every time I watch this, an ad pops up for a Craftsman 1/2" drive 12 point 36mm socket. Guaranteed to blow apart if you even THINK about 300 ft. lbs...

Agree, good video! Thanks for posting.

Cool Thanks for sharing your video!!! I'm going to tackle mine tomorrow!!1 Rusty

THANK YOU,SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO, I'M NO MECHAINIC,BUT I'M FOLLOWING YOUR DIRECTION

Love the camera work! Great job.

bro handy, thanks for the video. I did my 1st brake job last Saturday with help from this video and some wisdom from above...I could not get those "clips" out without breaking them though, so I had to replace them but otherwise I 'got her dun.'

Thank you so much for this video! God Bless You!

thanks for this. I watched another one and he jumped from taking the tire off to putting the new components on.

its 295 ft lbs, straight from manual

This was a Big Big help. Thanks for posting

This helped a lot man, thanks

Excelente video me ayudó mucho a mi servicio que brinde a una Ford de este modelo. Gracias desde Nicaragua

Awesome video bro!

this is a great video! im only curious why you took off the rotor that way.

Gotta love the dual pistons

When you torque the hub nut was the rotor able to spin freely while still in air?

so quick question: did you have to replace the full assembly (rotor + bearing) or did you just buy the rotors only? just wondering if the rotors are pressed into the rotor or of they are located on the spindle...

Thanks Bro; excellent video....

believe it or not my 97 f250 has the 7 lug stud rotor so. i got new front brake kits for both left and right. will be doing that soon.

Nice video bro very professional

Bro. good shit with your video! many props!!!! thumbs up!

anybody have information on brake and rotor change for 07 f150 2wd. 5.4L 8 cylinder.. cant find any info or parts and online whether you can use 4wd on a 2wd or not. also if the front and back rotors are different or can use front rotor set on rear?

As someone said below your about a 100 pounds shy of factory specs they call for 296 lbs a little less might work but you might eventually have to much play and wear out the bearings.

This is for 2 wheel drive. 4 wheel drive the rotor is separate from the hub assembly

I remember doing the same exact thing on my truck and i broke a socket trying to remove the bracket bolts 😂

Thank you, you saved my day..

you used a 36 mm socket, but will it work on the 2013 FX4? What year is your truck?

Thank you!. my local garage wants to charge me $600 for your 20 minutes of work.

did your rotor come assembled? or did you have to back the bearings

I did a brake job but instead of replacing the rotors I resurface them. So I put everything back and all went well but my abs light comes on? Just wondering what I did wrong?

is it the same for the rear

did the new rotor assembly come with new bearings?

very helpful video thanks man

Hi Bro, EXCELLENT VIDEO ! what year of F150 is this ( 2wd or 4wd) and which product? Thanks a lot

Did the new rotors come with the wheel bearings pre installed?

Where you get that part I been looking for one and the stores don’t sell it

Was your vibrating in the steering wheel going down the road

How did u keep your rotor from spinning??

Let me go get my 6 foot breaker bar with a 36 mm socket! HAHAH. Thanks for the video.

Did u put bearings in the back and front?

thanks for the video going to do mine on my 2007 ford f150 2wd 89,000 miles this weekend. I just want to know how hard it was to remove the old rotor? am just asking because on my back brakes i had to use bolts and the old brake pads to act as a clamp to pop the old rotor off, got to love rusted hubs

Does the bearing on rotor need to be greased or no

Wish I’d watched this before changing out a rotor yesterday. Would have made it a lot easier.

Thanks! Good luck

Are you not supposed to add grease around the spindle ?

man i hope mine is easy as this ant not complicated like the other videos ive seen where theres so much to take out

one of my brackets is touching the rotor

Will the rotors of a 4x4 fit a 2wd??? V8 4.6

So you reuse the cheapest part that's not suppose to be reused.

That spindle nut you should torque at 295 ft pound. BTW next try CENTRIC rotor and hub assy are 2 parts. I did mine and it's perfect fit. If you are interest in that centric convertion kit I can give u the part number.

So set the Torque at what on it ? 200 ? I got a 06 f150 2wd,and replacing the wheel bearings.

Well done ✅

How did you keep the rotor from spinning when taking the 36mm axle nut off?

Torque is 295 ft lbs on spindle, not 200ft lbs.

thanks! helped.

OK, I just did this job, now the pedal is soft and the ABS light is always on. Nothing around the calipers was wet, and I used good quality parts. It's a very low mileage '05. What happened?

Excellent! Thanks.

good job bro it's a lot easier then doing rotors on a Honda lol.

what size torque wrench is that? 1/2" 3/4"? Length? Thanks.

Hey great video...are these rotors the ones that have the bearing built into it sealed unit?

Great video. I just have one question. Why didn't you replace the Cotter pins? They maybe cost about a quarter.

This is the kind I have for my truck, but are you suppose to put grease on the wheel bearings before you put the whole thing on?

how do you change that bearing? does it come right off?

So at 175lbs we have 295 divided by 175 x 12 = 20.2 inches

thank you

What year is this truck

never reuse the cotter pin. other than that good video.

The hub nuts WON'T come off...even after using a whole can of WD40 & brake cleaner. Any suggestions?

I need grease the bearings ?

Is this a 4wd or 2wd ?

Do I have to do the wheel bearing to get the rotor off?
