I just want to say thank you. You are a Zen-like master in this field of work and you made my life easier today. I'm a decent mechanic but as the decades have rolled by, cars have become more complicated; therefore, having a mentor such as yourself makes fixing stuff much less difficult. You have been generous with your knowledge and that is a sign of a good human being. Thanks again, G. D. McFetridge

When snapping/breaking pieces of metal with cutters, wearing safety glasses is a must. Any time material can break or throw off dirt, it's a good idea to wear safety glasses. When making sparks on a grinder, wear safety glasses.

Well done. Thanks. Clear, concise, good camera work, good narration and explanation. I was pretty sure I knew how to do this, but I wanted to make sure there were no surprises. Not all brake caliper retraction is that simple on ford. The 06 Freestyle needs a special tool to rotate the caliper counter clockwise on one side and clockwise on the other - can't remember which. Regardless, and pardon the digression, thanks.

Thank you for posting this video! Been awhile since I've changed out brakes. Have a 2011 Ranger Sport 4x4 and the brakes have roughly 1500 more miles on them. Thanks for explaining in detail how to change them out.

Do you lube the caliper pins or did I miss that? Thanks

Yes, the caliber pins should have caliper pin lube put on them before putting them back in place.

I don’t have many tools and can’t really afford to see a mechanic for this, but I’m really struggling to break those bolts.. original rotors, 220k miles.

Try to spray them with some penetrating oil it usually helps to free up rusty bolts. Your local auto parts store should have some. Hope this helps you out.
