We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows those particular slide pins that hold the caliper in place. If they are the pins that have the metal on the outside with the rubber inside, you can put a little anti-seize on them to help keep the caliper from hanging up. I had an 89 full size Bronco that had that set-up. Hope this helps you out.

I would just like to say thank you for making this video. I went up to auto tire yesterday for a brake check and they were going to charge me $500 to fix my front brakes but after watching your video I decided to do it myself and thank god I did. After I added up the cost it came out to $100. I cannot say this enough but thank you very much you saved me a lot of money.

Usually you will feel the brake pedal pulsate when you get on the brakes. It's usually more noticeable at highway speeds when you're trying to slow down.

@aarondembe 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much for this video. My new rotors came with preloaded races, so no need to hammer them into place.

@1AAuto 12 жыл бұрын

Awesome, I loved that truck. The pins on the brakes were a little bit if a pain to maintain on it though. You may want to check them every so oftern to make sure that they didn't dry out, causing that caliper to stick.

@1AAuto 12 жыл бұрын

The bearings would be separate. If they have a ton of miles on them you may want to replace them. Also remember to pack them with grease before to put them in. Usually the older style cone shaped bearings aren't to expensive. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks, how to press the caliper pistons in really helped. I have done caliper breaks before, but I didn't know how before, and I think I just opened the brake line to release it. So then I would have to bleed the brake line again.

Is that hi temp bearing grease? Looks like its just regular greese. You also pack the bearings different than everyone else you didn't really get any in it, im pretty sure everyone else packs it in until its coming out the opposite side then clean the excess..

Good video and simple steps.I prefer to use a bearing packer which is not quite as messy. I did however get a chuckle seeing you use a claw hammer. You must have loaned your ball peen to another tech! Good job.

My 94 is the same. I'm in the middle of a V-8 conversion and pulled the brakes apart months ago. Then I got side tracked on something that actually paid me to work on it. I couldn't remember if the bleeders on my Ranger were at the top or bottom (I've seen them at the bottom on some vehicles). So I looked at videos to find one showing bleeders. I'm pretty sure they were at the top like this video shows. Guess I'll find out!

@MikeBrown-ii3pt 6 жыл бұрын

Talk about half assed! You've had this shop for how many years and don't have the proper tools to do a simple job? You drive bearing races in with a socket and hammer? That's a great way to destroy them! You didn't grease the bearings correctly and there are also torque specs for them. On top of all of this you put used brake pads on new rotors! The only thing I do the same as you is putting the seal in.

Do you have to bleed the new master cylinder before you install it on the vehicle like the full size Ford trucks?

@paulahaas329 6 жыл бұрын

My friend has the smaller Ford Ranger .

@MikeBrown-ii3pt 6 жыл бұрын

You ALWAYS have to "bench bleed" a new or re-man master. It's not hard and if you buy one from a reputable auto parts store the instructions for the procedure should be in the box.

My 94 Ranger 2wd front brakes aren't even CLOSE to this. The calipers don't bolt on. They have what I'll call pins and the pads aren't in what I'll call a bracket. This video says it shows 93-97 Ranger front brakes. Mine is a project truck getting a V-8 conversion. I pulled the front brakes apart months ago to rebuild the whole system. I got side tracked on something that actually paid me and couldn't remember if the bleeders were at the top of the caliper or not...I've seen them at the bottom...and that's why I was looking at videos. Newer Rangers may be like this but mine isn't.

I tried to price parts to do the brakes on my '96 Ranger today. Parts store guy asked if it was 2 or 4 wheel abs?? He said the rotors were different. Anyone know how to tell the difference so I can get parts ordered without tearing it all apart?

I'm thoroughly confused. In this video you dont' change the rotors but you say "If you're putting on new rotors, you'll want to, you'll probably need to install the bearings and races into the new rotors". But in the other video of almost the same title "How to replace front brakes 95-02 Ford Ranger", your guy puts on brand new rotors but doesn't do a thing to the bearings or races. He doesn't even mention them. ???
