Awesome video. First timer here but you show every step unlike other videos which show nothing about the bearings, greasing, bleeding the brake fluid, etc.... Going to try soon as brakes need to be replaced soon. So much easier than the drum brakes.

Just did this today. I think the mutt who used to own this truck saw the part about 20 foot pounds on the spindle nuts and didn't watch the rest because one bearing came out in pieces and the others were pretty well burned-discolored from heat. I had to dress one spindle with a die sinker file because of the lunched bearing and flatten out and clean up the face of one washer on a bench grinder. I'd suggest changing the bearings and the races at the same time you install a new rotor and use the races you got with your new bearings. It takes a little bit of work to change them out but there's no reason to think that different manufacturers hold to the same tolerances. I'd especially not use an old bearing with new races. I use a crescent wrench to snug up the hub and then back it off a little and hand tighten it up, then try the castellated security washer in different positions until I find the best spot that lets me install the cotter pin. I plan on rechecking and readjusting the bearings after a couple hundred miles when everything's seated properly and broken in. Other than that, a good tutorial.

Great video, about to do the pads and rotors on my neighbour's 2WD Ranger. Good bit more work than i'm used to with pads and rotors on a vehicle with it's own unit bearing but after watching this video i've got no problem.

Nice video...a couple thoughts...you could skip opening the bleeder and use a large screw driver to compress the pistons to get the caliper off (then you don't need to bleed the brakes because you haven't opened the system). Also you would bleed all four wheels since most brake systems are a split diagonal (left front/right rear circuit)...and hand packing the bearing would have been quicker and actually less trouble than using the "tool."

A really good job of "Breaking" it down. No pun intended. I have watch lets say more than one and your video is superb and very thorough. A couple other videos recommend that after you complete the work a road test is required and stopping @ low speeds (5&10 mph) before higher speed stopping is recommended to make sure all is good.

One tip that I learned when I did this job over the weekend is to make sure you get the right rotor! I didn't realize when I ordered it that there were both 10.2 inch and 11.3 inch rotors for the Ranger/B2300 in 2004. The truck needed a 11.3 inch OD rotor and I was sent a 10.2 inch. Unfortunately, it was a special order so I can't return it. PS...If you need a 10.2 inch rotor I have one unused...cheap!

Anthony Migchelbrink I feel your pain. I got one all ready to cinch-down, got the pads on it, and saw it was too small. I might be able to return them though....

AWESOME!!! I am about to do this next wekeend!! Excellent! I am actually replacing my entire calipers as well but they are already "loaded" with the pads.. Is there a need to remove them or can I simply just bolt up the new rotors, bearings, and calipers then procede to the bleeding process of the brakes? Thanks, -Nigel

Wait, that truck has the ABS sensors in the front it is a 4 wheel drive ABS, but you used a rotor that does not have reluctor ring 12:55 ? you used the wrong rotor. In the mean time im stuck trying to find that precise rotor that you are using for my truck because mine does not have abs in front! This has been so frustrating!

If you don't start the engine when you turn the steering wheel back and forth for some reason on Rangers it pukes steering fluid.

You know you did a pretty descent video until I see you using old hardware on the caliper mounting bracket. Usually you get that hardware with your pad kit. An using anti seize on the hardware and guide pins why? There is excellent products out there that are made for disc brakes. So you to cheap to buy a hardware kit? An old hardware my not allow the pads to function correctly. You made a good video into crap.
