Cheers for the help and guidance! Got mine done this morning in 1.5hrs, although needed another video to help with the rotor boot airlock, definitely an hour job if those didn't happen. Agree with another comment below, undo top bolt about 2 revolutions and bottom bolt out, swing up and can change them easy!

Good instructions. I was able to swing the caliper up by removing the bottom bolt and winding the top bolt out half way. Pads come out and go in no problems. 2012 PX Ranger 4x2

Thanks for this video it helped me alot. For anyone interested, if you are also doing the rotors of the 4x4 model you just need to take off the next two bolts off the caliper bracket (that's what I'm going to call it) Then it's just the rotor which you bang off with a hammer (4x4 model only as I think the 2wd is more complex to remove rotor).

Thanks for the video, I'm very mechanical but as cars get more and more gear on them the manufactures set traps to avoid the home handy man from doing any work on them, I have heard some horror stories of some late model stuff that if break pistons are pushed back into the caliper it up set the ABS and bought lights up on the dash, The car in question had to be flashed to put the light out, I can only assume this is not the case with BT50 and Ford Ranger PX2. So tomorrow I'll be doing my own Ranger front pads for the first time with 168,000 K's on it. Thank you for the time it took you to make such a clear quality video Murray in Clontarf QLD 4019

@rossawood5075 7 ай бұрын

Remember that non synthetic brake fluid is hydroscopic, that is it absorbs moisture, its a good idea if fluid has not been changed in 100k replacing the fluid with fresh will remove the older contaminated oil and often given a noticeably improved pedal feel and firmer brake action. This will require air bleeding the lines and flexible brake hose through the brake nipple on the caliper usually although if gravity bleeding and topping up the reservoir with new fluid before it is empty will usually do the trick without bleeding. A small amount of appropriate lube on the caliper sliding pins is also a good idea.

Hi mate, Maybe before you compress the piston put a old pad between the compression tool so you don’t damage the piston 👌

you should coat the inside of the wheel that contacts the disc face with an anti seize product so that the next time you remove the wheel it isn't frozen by corrosion to the disk face

You’ve clearly got tools so why would you undo the wheel nuts with a torque wrench???!! Great way to throw out calibration. Don’t be teaching people to use a torque wrench to undo, they are designed and calibrated for tightening!!! Use a breaker bar, much cheaper then a torque wrench and it’s built for that purpose.
