Sorry for the delayed response; I've been out of town. You will need a wrench set suited for your vehicle, hammer, most likely a torch; you won't need what I have; a small propane one will work; it will just take a little longer. A jack and safety stand of some sort, brake cleaner, and mostly, patients. Hope that helps; thanks for watching.

Hi Rickey, glad you like it, and that it will be helpful, that's what YT is best for. I gotta say, the brake job on my truck was about as easy as I have ever done. Looks like I'll be doing the rear brakes in a couple of months, 80K on the clock and their still the original rear pads, not to bad! The front I did at 65K, Ford definitely built it right. Just curious, how do you like your truck? Thanks for watching and your kind remarks, they are always appreciated. F.Y.I. My daughter and I will be doing a resto-mod on a 95 Jeep that I purchased for my wife many years ago, It's been an excellent Jeep, and it will be my daughter's first vehicle. I will be posting the progress videos as we work through the project, the plan is to have it ready for her when she turns 16 in May. If your interested, stay tuned.

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I use anti-seize on almost every part of a vehicle, never fails to make life easy.

The dealer advised me to have the brakes done at 50k, from what I saw I probably could have made 75k and the rear look almost new. This was one of the easier brake jobs I've done, everything came apart and went together without drama. My daughter starts driving class's tonight, gotta get started rebuilding the old Jeep Gand C. for her. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Brakes can be easy or pain, these proved very easy.

Hi JD. The hammer is a dead-blow and is quite effective to deliver the force; Why I don't use a steel hammer is the shock load to the wheel speed sensor, you are not supposed to us an impact-wrench on the uni-bearing due to that fact. I had not considered using the old brake pad, thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate it.

Thanks

LOL, and FIRE!!!! gota have fire. Thanks for watching.

Hi Scott, glad you like it; I'm continually trying to improve my videos, so thanks. The jack is just a straight old automotive-style floor jack; I purchased it ~20 years ago and don't remember where anymore. FYI, I'm doing the rear brakes this weekend, 89K on the originals, not bad. Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate it.

Thanks, glad you got something out of it. Thanks for watching, and commenting, I do appreciate it.

Hi Leonard. The original bolts didn't have thread-locker, so I don't use it. I usually don't use anti-seize on the hub because you want the frictional force holding the hub-disk-wheel interface as secure as possible, anti-seize would reduce that force, putting more stress on the lug bolts; As for the hardware, the original clips were in perfect condition and didn't need replacing, it was a judgment call on my part, one that I am comfortable with. This was the first brake job for my truck, and the first time the disk had been removed, the need for heat was not unexpected, I most likely will be trading in this truck before the next brake job will be needed. Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate the feedback. F.Y.I. My daughter and I will be doing a resto-mod on a 95 Jeep that I purchased new for my wife, It's been an excellent Jeep, and it will be my daughter's first vehicle.

@@SouthernEngineering Thanks for reply.

Thanks, glad you liked the video; I hope it will be helpful. You should use a gear puller, but that can be an expensive tool if you don't use it a lot; I suggest you use a propane torch (like a plumber would use) but use MAP gas; it burns hotter, it will take a little longer to heat the rotor, but it will work. Never strike the wheel assembly or rotor with a hammer; it can damage the integrated speed sensor for your ABS brakes. How do you like your Lariat? Mine has been a great truck, the best I have ever owned. Thanks for watching.

@@SouthernEngineering Thanks for the recommendation, I'm glad I asked! I love the 2015 Lariat I currently have, my old 2005 F150 was very basic (didn't even have power windows) so I decided to treat myself and upgrade to pretty much all the bells and whistles that are available with the Lariat package. There are some features that you think you would never need/use and now I don't think I could ever go without. I use the 360 degree cameras routinely to park! The only thing I wouldn't recommend are the power running boards, I have had to replace the motors on both sides 3 times now but fortunately I bought the Premium Care warranty and it has been covered each time at the dealership... the Ohio winters are not ideal for power running boards at all.

@@sodedit I've had the running boards before; I agree they are not reliable, perhaps in the South but not in the snow and ice. I also have the premium care; it's money well spent and important if you're going to hold onto your truck a while. I'm not ready to trade it yet; the new 150s are nice, but not much has changed. I did order the new Bronco for my wife; I hope it will arrive soon.

Happy to help!

Hi John. I got the number from my buddy, he's a Ford tech and works mostly on trucks; I called and confirmed with him after receiving your question; 184 is safely precise and a large number; you may very likely snap the bolt off, it could be a misprint. I take it you have an F-150, how long have you owned it, do you like it?

Hi GB. I have never done that, I do check to make sure they move freely and that the seals are intact; As long as they check ok I don't bother with them, this has been how I have always done it, however, if there is the slightest indication of uneven pad wear or stickiness then they will get replaced. Thanks for watching and commenting, I do appreciate it.

Mine is also 4X4; thanks for watching and for your question; I hope it helps.

If you mean a wear sensor, then no, they do not. Just a basic disk brake pad with anti-rattle clips; Hope that helps.

That did. Thank you

💪

Impressive numbers Duane, are they highway?

I just got 100k and recommended rotors and pads. Oem and wanted to see if they’re being honest.

Hi Russ, I didn't want to hammer on it, and I didn't have a puller so, the smoke wrench was my best option. I was careful not to heat the unit-bearing and applied heat only to the disk; If you look at @6:03, you will notice I used an IR temperature gun to monitor so as not to damage the bearing assm. and the wheel speed sensor. I can't remember if I lubed the slide pins; it would be my normal practice; I may have left that video clip out. Thanks for watching and commenting; I do appreciate it.

I may be old and fat, but I can still wrestle a 100lb wheel and tire. 💪(working on the fat part lost 11lb so far)

@@SouthernEngineering good job buddy!!

@@marrazzowoodworkingdiy8118 thanks, 30lbs by fall. Seriously reduced carbs, steak, greens, and Bourbon 😁

@@SouthernEngineering you can do it. I cut out sugar about 20 months ago and lost 18 pounds without trying. So keep it up!!

I cut anything sugar, no carbs like pasta, bread, etc, bumped up the protein and added more greens, it's interesting that I have a craving for pasta and bread, that was unexpected. Next target, 230 by the end of June.

One of the most versatile tools in the shop, It's right up there with a bolt stretcher. Thanks for watcing.
