Exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to do this video! I bought a floor jack. Could have bought 5 floor jacks with the money I saved.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thank you for watching. I appreciate it🔧

[@massivemagoo]

thanks for ur help mate. some dodge mechanic wanted to charge me 900 to do this. i ended up getting top quality parts and did it all myself for less than half that. this video was very helpful

[@NoneMechanic101]

This is why I make video. To be able to help others. 900 dollars is a lot of money. Good job on doing the job yourself. Thank you for your comment and for watching. I appreciate it!

Thank You for your guidance. You made everything helpful and entertaining. Especially on forgetting putting back the parts you forgot. When I was done the voice in my head said "make sure you put everything back in the right place" and you saved me a lot of $$$. Thank You

[@eliluttrell7637]

Watched this video mainly to replace pads, rotors and then had to look up how to replace the Caliper on driver's side. I really appreciate the video and I hope you keep up the good work. Still not a fan of the GFs Focus, but at least now I can replace brakes haha.

[@NoneMechanic101]

I'm not a fan either of these Ford Focus. Thank you for watching👍🔧

[@noroom4commies086]

Yeah the mk3 focus especially the auto trans was a disaster. I own one... worst car ever. Shoulda went toyota or honda.

I really liked this video and think it's one of the longest repair videos you have, GREAT WORK and explaining everything, you even showed them how all of us will make mistakes, it's alright, just keep at it. I like that aluminum jack, it looks brand new. It was not too long ago you had 100 subscribers, now you're at 170, man are we glad you are a friend of ours, GREAT JOB!

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes Tim , it's the longest video I have ever made. I wasn't feeling well that day but I did it. I watched many of your videos so I learned alot from you. The Jack been with me a year. I just keep it clean. Lol. I said to my Rose the other day that by the summer we going to reach 1000 subscribers.

[@zacharylatka3456]

Great video I really appreciate it! One question. When you push the piston back in you leave the brake reservoir open? And then do you leave it open until you're done pumping the brakes? And then if need be, you add more fluid?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes, I do leave the reservoir open and then I check the reservoir to make sure it has enough fluid on it, if nee be I add fluid. Use safety at all times.

Do you used anymore locktite on the 19mm bolts?

[@NoneMechanic101]

No I should have had.

[@googskub772]

thanks for the video, what bakes and rotors did you use?

[@NoneMechanic101]

You're welcome. If I remember correctly. I got them in ebay. There's a company by the name "Detroit Axle " That has good price.

[@crimsonking842]

Awesome video! But i cant seem to get my rotors off....'12 focus sel....only diffrence i see in mine vs. Yours is thst i dont have the hex bolt in the center....am i missing something here or do i need to go grab my crowbar?

[@NoneMechanic101]

What I would do I will spray liquid wrench or WD40 around the rotor. Then I would hit the side of the rotor. I would only do this if I'm changing the rotors.

[@christianjmyhre]

Is the process for the rear brakes the same way? I also have a 2012 Ford Focus SE, but I need all 4 brakes done.

[@NoneMechanic101]

If I remember correctly the rear are drum brakes

[@BillyJoe71]

It's about the same but if it's like the sel you'll need a specialty tool to get the piston to go back in. Autozone has it.

[@jordigonzalez546]

Excellent video my friend, thanks for sharing. My question is, how do I know when is the moment to change the pads and when to change the rotors? Do they have to be replaced at the same time? I know that the rotors could be used with new pads. Thanks again

[@NoneMechanic101]

I depends on the brake pads you use. Brake pads should be able last you about 55,000 miles. The few ways to know if you need to change your brake pads. 1) Is the Indicator light is on. 2) Squealing noise. 3) Thin Brake pads 4) Low brake fluid. These are a few signs. The rotors don't have to be changed at the same time but its a good practice to do so.

[@jordigonzalez546]

@@NoneMechanic101 thank you!

[@sidneystewart4943]

What an outstanding lesson! Your conversational style of commentary makes learning an absolute pleasure. Do you have one on the tire pressure sensor by any chance? I have changed my front right sensor on my 2010 Focus twice but it will not train. I don't know... Thank You. Sidney Stewart

[@NoneMechanic101]

Mr. Stewart, I don't have one on the tire sensor but I will keep in mind. Thank you for watching

[@tylerstraley5076]

You need a special tool to Register the tire pressure sensor. Whenever you start the Register process the special tool is pressed on the sidewall at the valve stem of LF>RF>RR>RL in that order.

When I did the brake job exactly as you did it, my rotors were pretty tight and would barely spin unless I forced it. Is this normal at first because the pads are fresh? Or should I be concerned ?

HI DO YOU TAKE THE BRAKE RESORVIOR CAP OFF TO SCREW THE CALIPPER PISTON IN

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes, I took the reservoir cap off before I push the caliper pistons in.

[@fozzyfishing7676]

Really important question... When your pressing your brake pedal a couple of times to tighten everything up, do you still leave the reservoir cap off or do you put it back on and then press your brake pedal?? Thanks.

[@NoneMechanic101]

It works best with the reservoir closed

I seriously just replaced the front pads & rotors today on my 2012 ford focus & this video was helpful but not 19mm for bracket holding pads, its 18mm. Maybe he was thinking about the lug nuts which use 19mm socket.
