This is great! Just bought this exact kit! Thankfully i came across videos. Definitely different than my last truck when i did the brakes. Im doing mine Saturday. This video is awesome! Very informative.

Best video I’ve found so far!! Thank you👍🏽

Very welcome. Thanks for watching!

Very concise and clear info. Best Ive seen! Questions: Add more loctite or not? Can you do a video showing how to bleed, or better yet do a full fluid change! Thanks!

[@theguyofalltrades]

Definitely not a fan of loctite on caliper bolts. I mean you can use the blue or medium grade if you want. Anything more than that and you’ll have to heat the bolt to remove. As far as bleeding are you replacing an entire caliper or master cylinder, lines, hoses..? Otherwise there’s no need to bleed or flush. I do have to do the brakes on my wife’s Honda so maybe I’ll do that video.

90K on my 2018 F150 4x4. Putting on Powerstop kit with new calipers. Want to completely flush or change the old fluid prior to install to keep any old gunk out of the new calipers, and then re-bleed after the install. Mechanical is easy; just want to get the fluid right. Thanks again.

I would start bleeding furthest caliper from master cylinder so passenger rear then drivers rear then passenger front then finally driver front. Those vacuum brake bleeders from mighty vac work really well. Just make sure the reservoir never goes dry

Awesome instructional video. What size are the rear rotors? 336 or 350 mm?

[@theguyofalltrades]

Front is 350mm rear is 336.1mm. Also the rotors are the same as used in the tow/haul kit. Only difference is pads but I think I may have mentioned that in the video
