Excellent video, I learned a few tips I've not known before-

[@billro6665]

Would have been nice to tell what size and torque spec are for each bolt and lug nuts.

[@tarakortz7727]

Would be nice to include the tool sizes for bits, wrenches, etc. for the DIY

[@ChrisPerko]

+Tara Kortz yep, tried to do mine this weekend and realized that none of my hex bits were the correct size

[@fatboyshadetree5139]

Any update on sizes of bit needed?

[@clevelaroe4274]

47 torx bit .size 18 socket and size 9 socket.

[@theolschoolblues]

if you can't figure out what socket fits on a nut than DIY is really not for you

[@jennavoss7035]

2carpros- i have a 2006 Ford Escape xlt what size do I need to change brake and rotors

[@ChosenOne2k14]

Good tutorial will try this soon

[@2carpros]

You got this! Thanks for watching!

[@b16crxt]

what size is the slider bolt??

[@barkybarker2592]

Is this any different on a 2007?

[@deanmurray4953]

what size allen

[@jalnx]

Well done. Good lighting and audio. No excess video or yacking. Background music could be lower, but all in all, great.

[@mrrightfield513]

anyone know the torque size for calipers

[@PK-zo8lx]

On my F150 the caliper pins have a hex head. Don't know why for the Escapes Ford engineers decided to go with a Torx. What is the size of the torx head for this one? 45? Thanks,

[@2carpros]

Yeah I don't know why Torx is even used. It seems to me that every time I see a Torx they could have used a regular bolt or nut. Anyhow I don't remember what size the torx head is we recorded this over 3 years ago. Thank you for watching!

THANKS

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@jodyorr2778]

Is there not a pressure release valve like on most cars break line ?

[@2carpros]

There is a bleeder like every other car. Thanks for watching!

[@danieljackson1764]

I just replaced my brakes and my car won’t move but we didn’t compress the brake cylinder. Would that be the reason?

[@2carpros]

Yeah that could be the cause. You bolting it on with the cylinders sticking out further due to past brake wear with new pads now taking the space up. Take them back off and recess the cylinder. Thanks for watching!

[@tjones2260]

For a DIY video including socket sizes etc would have been helpful.

[@2carpros]

Sorry that the video doesn't supply that information our new videos will.

[@tjones2260]

+2CarPros I do understand you did your best and did not have to apologize but you did. I am very humbled by that and look forward to your videos.

[@2carpros]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@mlpuppet70]

I take it no bleeding of the brakes, unless I take the calipers off? I am not a car expert. Just asking for a friend

[@2carpros]

Always a good idea to bleed brakes after a job like this. Check the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWjKhqagZ9qmZrc

[@kwaktwo1362]

No bleed needed

[@davidarabian8883]

wish this music played every time I worked on my car

[@2carpros]

That would make it more pleasant. Thanks for watching!

[@markferrier6403]

Good video. TURN DOWN THAT DAMN MUSIC!

[@JP-rd9rq]

So you don't need to bleed the brake fluid at all? Good to know.

[@2carpros]

Not if you don't open the system. Thanks for watching!

[@JP-rd9rq]

2CarPros Do I have to remove the brake fluid cap under the hood first?

[@Heavyhearted44]

Always use c-clamps

[@Blaztphemer]

and mechanics are asking for 600 dollars for doing this replacement

[@adamleon9128]

My escape is completely different. Good vid, but not helpful for my case.

[@samakinnagbe9530]

You mean"Brakes"

[@anthonytumadre61]

yea don't say the size of anything

[@2carpros]

Yeah this is an old video. I thought back then people would just use trial and error like I do. Thanks for watching!
