This happens to be the best instructional video I have ever seen when it comes to cars!! Thank you sir!!

The best video for rear brakes on this generation Explorer. Well produced and narrated too!

Thank you. I didn't know I had to sping the piston on the rear calipers. Im glad you posted the video. If I kept trying to force it I may have dameged the caliper 😊

Thank you, the video was very helpful. I did my wife's Explorer yesterday. Cranking that piston back in is the hardest part of the job. Trying to hold the caliper in one hand and cranking the tool with the other is difficult, especially at the start. I miss the old days when a C-Clamp was all you needed.

Another great instructional vid by one of the best!

I did enjoy the video, and you do things so I can keep up!!

Thanks a lot for the video. You sir saved me some money and I learned something new! God bless you!

Nice job on the Explorer, Jim. I recently did the front of my 11 Ford Flex. I noticed that grease was used on the surface between the Rotor and the Hub. There was very little rust in there.

First of all thanks for the great video. My only question is, shouldn't you use copper grease and anti-seize when working on brakes?

Thanks very well done. These videos are great.

Thank you Sir you really made it look easy

This video gets a well deserved "like".

Really excellent video! Though I have done this many times I did pick up a thing or to. thank you.

Excellent tutorial thank you

You for got to mention the lil star screw that helps hold the rotor you have to take that out

Great job sir!

Thanks for the video! I also use some heat for those stubborn T40 bolts that hold the rotor or cut a line with a cutoff wheel and use a impact hammer to knock it loose because I hate drilling them out.

Great video as always!

This brake job doesn't require bleeding the fluid afterwards? Just asking.

Jim , great Vid , one thing you did not mention was the brake fluid being pushed back to the Master Cylinder , me I usually crack open slightly the bleeder screw Frank T

Great video man! Thanks! I will apply the same to my Ranger 2013. It should work. Are you from Boston by the way?? Paaking break?

Woww thank you so so much sir👏👏

hey jim I have the tool, but nowadays I use the needle nose method

thanks a lot, nice vid

Thank you for the video. Do you need to rotate the break piston and turn it back to the original position ? Thank you

Great video, is the process the same for a 2012 ford Explorer?

Grinder wrench works great on the piston

don't the pads need to slide those two nubs into those holes on the caliper piston?

Can the brake caliper tool be rented at an auto parts store?

Thanks

I replacing the rear brake pads and rotors but U ended up replacing the rotors only. Cs I didnt have the special tool to compress the piston

What is the purpose of the Torx bolt if the tire mounted keeps the rotor in place?

Being a retired mechanic I watch these videos out of nostalgia, this is a great instruction and I agree when you years of experience you have the appropriate Bolt and Nut Torques imbedded in your elbows. But I would recommend DIY and weekend mechanics have a torque wrench. Great job sir. 🇨🇦

Where did you get the brake tool from and how much?

The t40 bolts are such a bitch I just tossed mine after and forgot to replace them. So far 20k miles and no issues whatsoever

14:00 So it's electro-plated to keep it from rusting... but they coat it in oil to keep it from rusting?? lol!

You didn't show how to adjust the emergency brake? You did show us how to screw in the piston on the caliper which I am assuming has to do with the emergency brake?

Interesting how the frame of the video is bouncing all over the place

I don't understand how the emergency brake works??

i like that light tap and bolts are loose lol

googletube has too damn many commercials.

You don’t need that special tool you guys can use a clamp tool he’s just over exaggerating

Great video but what a piece of crap engineering from Ford on the caliper! How many years have pistons not needed any special tools other than a C clamp or pry bar and old pads! You did a good job explaining this process though.
