2006 Ford F-550 Rear Brake Rotor Replacement

[@thegreatlakestrucker]

This is exactly what I needed. Detailed, simple instructions. How to take apart, what to expect, and how to put everything together. Sub'd.

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

great, thanks for watching

[@jalopyhotrod6394]

Get a socket don’t be a hack and use a chisel

[@tiogatruckbarn5807]

You should not grease the bearing in a gear lube system. just lube the bearing with gear lube first

[@YuckFou0x0FFFF]

The disc to hub bolts are 121nm or 89ft lbs. Not 250+ You're actually supposed to replace the seal and bearing prior to installation, fill the hub cavity with axle lube and then coat the spindle & hub seal with axle lube. In no part of the Ford manual did it say to put axle grease on anything. I just watched this for visual reference and was kinda shocked by the amount of mistakes.

[@TheOriginalUberGoober]

Straight from Ford Factory manual rear hub to rotor bolts 89 ft lbs. So yeah telling people 350 from an impact is hilarious. Also main hub nut is 70 ft lbs to set bearing then back off 90 degrees then retighten to 15-20 ft lbs. Also torques do depend on if you have the Dana axel as those are just a tad bit more. Good luck.

[@lmorales458]

No silicone on axle cover when putting the axle back in? How fast did that oil leak? Was it a mess?

[@waceyjones3601]

Did you have to put any gear oil for what came out when you removed the axle?

[@antonygilbert9695]

How do you put back oil that dropped off when you took driveshaft out ?

[@DiegoBurgos8A]

I was getting ready to pay someone to do it once I took the axle out but than I said "why not try to KZbin it?" I'm parked outside the parts store right now abut to buy the parts (I hope they have them) and do it myself! Thanks for the video !

[@scottharris1495]

Super clear video and especially good 'pointers', thank you!! I begin my 2000 F350 Dually rear rotors, calipers & pads replacement today. Gonna spray some VHT paint on rotor hub portion to help prevent future corrosion too. This will be my 1st complete & total Dually rear brake job. Exciting! You're making it easier for me! Fun too!! THANKS!

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

sweet, good luck with it. i bet it looks good. thanks for watching.

[@scottharris1495]

I was a little skiddish about doing it ALL when I first tore the rear calipers off. Pads had disintegrated on driver's side due to stuck caliper & the rotor was destroyed! At 68 & retired, I decided I have nothing but time on my hands, so here we go! Everything will be 'new' so I don't have to worry about it again. THANKS for your mentorship to get me moving on this! Scott

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

no prob, its just like anything else that we know nothing about, one part at a time, stare at it for a moment and understand what its job is. then the next part. if a man made it, scott can sure fix it, ha. thanks again buddy!!!!

[@JonDoeSecure]

A grade 10.9 bolt with a 15mm head will likely have at most a 12mm, typically a 10mm, bolt diameter and the max torque of a 12mm bolt in that grade is 135ftlbs. I also looked at the Ford Service manual and did not see 350ftlbs anywhere on any of the brake components. It states brake disk to hub bolts on a F550 is 89ftlbs Just be careful giving out torque specs unless you are certain. That's a liability thing.

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

ha ha , you got it. keep reading though you will find it. bigger liability if that thing comes off. hahaha thanks for watching and for your research time.

[@jonathanwilson9186]

Do you not have to seal the axle plate with rtv?

[@trumpstaffel1675]

Did the rear brakes change much since 2000? I am having a hell of a time finding brake parts.

[@tiogatruckbarn5807]

the spec for tightening the spindle nut is 70ft lbs then back off 90 degrees then tighten to 18 ft lbs

[@edrandall4419]

Thanks, was wondering what the two different torque specs meant

[@josephvella3688]

This is the ratcheting style correct?

[@travismcdonald5716]

So you are tryin to tell people to put 250+ torque on parts that only call for around 77 and that’s not even the correct way to install a hub nut because you should spin the hub some while you tighten it to be sure the bearings are all lined up and it should be tightened to around 70 on torque and back off around 90 degrees to be sure the bearing pressed in place then tightened again to no more than 20 on torque to be done correctly

[@gennarohock1572]

Why not put in new bearings when doing the pads and rotors ?

[@jamesscott1932]

Thanks! Your hard work teaches a lot of us.

[@katanax31]

Hi is same procedure on the 03 f550 ???

[@SGaryNinja]

Good video showing the breakdown of everything. Proper torque specs found in comments. 90ftlb on rotor, 3 1/4" bearing lock nut initially 50ftlb and back off 1/2 turn, then finally 20ftlb.

[@SGaryNinja]

Correction; 70ft.lb on 3 1/4" to start, then back off 90 degrees, then final torque no more than 20ftlb.

[@josephvella3688]

@@SGaryNinja doing same. Thing to my 2019 have the 3 1/4 nut where did you find this information.? What rear? Thanks! I know I'm late lol

[@SGaryNinja]

I'm not sure what rear end it was. I found the specs in the comments. The best way to be sure is to check the play with a dial indicator afterwards. I think it was .001-.006 range.

[@josephvella3688]

@@SGaryNinja for in and out of the rotor axle? What tolerance is measured?

[@SGaryNinja]

I don't remember if it was in/out or up/down play that was measured. Have to do some internet research to find the info again. Sorry!

[@jkurub13d96]

Nice, this confirms what I figured was involved to replace my rotors on my RV workhorse w22 chassis. Shops charge two arms and a leg for this work and I like doing it myself.

[@mamabragg]

Do you not have safty jack stands?

[@Alma6est]

I think for the 05 f550 axle nut its a 3-3/8" 8-Point Octagon Locknut Wrench, maybe around 30 bucks

[@novasixseven]

It's a 3.25" 8 point socket, OTC part number 1909

[@kirbyhobson4903]

Thank you! Exactly what i needed!!

[@precisionfilms3777]

Did you have to add more gear oil to the rear end after reassembly?

[@travismcdonald5716]

Bobcat Legend, I just did mine today and didn’t lose much oil at all but it would never hurt to be sure that it’s topped off to be safe

[@RobMan]

No good can come from spraying brake cleaner into the axle tube...

[@GMT3190]

Do you think I can wiggle out a Wheel Stud without having to remove the brake rotor? Please let me know in anycase. Thanks in advance and Great Video! Thanks for telling us the sizes for tools required 🤟🏼

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

yes, put a nut on it and hit it with a hammer. thanks for watching.

[@carlosfelippi3871]

is this rear axle the same as f 250? can you put double rotated on f 250 just by putting the f 350 cube and disk?

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

i do not think so, same, but a little different. however the concept is. do not be afraid to do it. thanks for watching.

[@VileMisanthropy]

Great explanation thank you, I've always worried about setting the axle nut correctly.... I toasted the bearings on a guys tow truck one time and I've always had the thought in the back of my mind when doing these since.

[@sira6908]

are these not oil bath hubs? there should not be grease in them, but I could be wrong

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

they are oil bath, you are correct. but if you are not pressing them, a little grease is great, kind of a break in. remember grease when heated becomes oil. causing little to no friction is what you want. do not over pack it, but ive always put a little on. thanks for watching.

[@mojicahe9453]

i just love the new wheel seal hi replaced

[@SeaDaddy]

Outstanding video all around. Thank you good sir.

[@YuckFou0x0FFFF]

The hub-to-disk bolts need to be 89 Ft lbs. Not 250+.. You need a torque wrench for that part or you'll have no idea how tight they are. The hub needs to be filled with axle lube, and the seal and bearing need to be replaced and wiped down with the same lube. Great visual reference video but there were lots of errors here.

[@williammontoya2517]

You to replace the hub seal

[@sanchezzd]

You are the best keep making videos

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

i do them them for people like you! your the best, thanks for watching.

[@bobm6527]

Why are you putting grease on an oil bath lubed bearing? You state the bearing still has lots of grease on it from pre disassembly. I'm looking this up to figure out my own truck, but it either has oil or grease, it can't be both. Another video shows e-18 bolts to remove the rotor and you state 15MM. So now I know I need new tools just in case I find I have the e-18, once I get it apart.

[@thelostsoul5531]

15mm socket to pull axle bolts, e-18 to pull rotor off hub.

[@thelostsoul5531]

15/16 socket to remove brake caliper bracket, 16mm to remove caliper bolts

[@Me-001]

What did you end up using, I think the 2011 and newer have the e18 bolts for rotor to hub and they were 15mm in this video?

[@chadhowell9864]

Awesome, enjoyed the video man, you make it fun and fast!

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

thanks for watching.

[@wonderingtimesllc7203]

Go dude, Go. One fine video.

[@14paste14]

If you don't have bearing grease then use some good rear oil

to do this job in canada at ford for new brakes, rotors and seals its about $2200

[@OsbaldoRodriguez-o4n]

[@rubenhernandez8938]

an awesome video should be an auto shop teacher.

[@larryreno8293]

Ruben Hernandez no, he should not!

[@mauriciobarrios6685]

Very good video But..... 1-no need to pack the bearing with grease. Those are lube with gear oil that I believe is synthetic because the way it smells. Before you put the outside bearing in fill the hub with oil. 2- I will not recommend torque the nut with a screwdriver or chisel. If you over torque it you will destroy your bearings and it can damage your spindle too. A cheap torque wrench and sockets will do. I hope you don't take it the wrong way man

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

not at all, every one is entitled to their opinion. let me ask you this, when replacing main bearings or crank bearings, do we not lube them in at least a white grease even though they get lubed with the engine oil, and when it breaks down rather quickly, it becomes oil. this is called pre lubing. this goes the same for these bearings. the initial turning of no lubrication will put 300 plus miles on it in the fist 2-5 rotations. as for torque specs, i agree with you, but i have being doing it so long, i just do it. however i am showing these videos to teach and i should be including the torque specs to insure they get theirs right. you make a good point there. thanks for the great comments, and for watching.

Great video man

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

thanks for watching!

[@DonziGT230]

The rotor bolts DO NOT need 250+ Ft. Lbs., that is way over spec and looking for trouble. All the ones I've looked up take 100 or 150 Ft.Lbs. depending on the axle type. If your gun really puts out 350 and you maxed it out you're in dangerous territory of having those break at some point. Best of luck.

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

Check your specs, this one actually called for that. thanks for watching!
