[@cathiturner7091]

Great job!! Thank you for not boring me to death or wasting my time with your cars' life story. Very informative and straight to the point. Thanks!

[@themechanic6117]

No problem.I appreciate you watching 👍

[@cpu64]

I wish someone had applied anti seize to the rotors on mine, they're on there forever lol!

[@themechanic6117]

Thats sucks lol. Get a bigger hammer

[@lilmike2710]

Excellent how to video. Hiw many years ago it was uploaded dont matter because the instructions are timeless. The happy accident with the rounded bolt perfectly demonstrates the need for the correct tools for the job. Especially with old brake lines. Even new ones because tbey are made with soft aluminum and you WILL DEFINATELY round them shits.. Thanks and more mustang stuff Please?

[@themechanic6117]

If i get another mustang in the garage ill record what I can. Thanks for dropping a comment

[@anthonydrain5362]

Very useful video, thank you for the clear instructions and explaining what you’re doing. Keep it up 🙏

[@themechanic6117]

You're welcome, thanks for watching

After using your Cadillac Converter- it's always important to make sure the differential is aligned by using a Twerk wrench, make sure it's at least a hundred feet long.

[@jasonmattingly9324]

Looked like u diddnt put the metal clips on the sides of the brake pads thx for the video tho doing mine rn

[@MustangMedic]

I feel you on the part problems

[@doublethinkplusone]

9:47 I came here specifically looking to see how the clips are installed, and you didn't install them :(

[@themechanic6117]

Which clips?

[@doublethinkplusone]

The metal clips that go on the outside edges of the brake pads

[@themechanic6117]

They're to take up any gap that you may have so the pads don't bounce around in there. I honestly don't remember why I didn't use they unless there was non supplied in the box for me to even use . At 9:44 you can see that tried shaking the pads and there was no play. If there was I would have been concerned

[@michaelgarrett1959]

@@themechanic6117 there called shim clips and they are major for vibration now you think of it as greater lesser you want the clip "eating you" and the pad on the disc or so you have to pinch it down .. kinda hard but easy as you go

[@BrilloBush]

Same. 😞

[@MustangMedic]

Nice teaching video, I know you spent a lot of time doing it. Have you watched MustangMedic videos?

[@AndrewBurtonS-group]

man thanks for the video but I just need to leave this comment. I know hes not going to use the old calipers but please use vice grips on the e-cable wire... that bolt that hold the spring down can pop out at you very fast or even you might brake the bolt and if your not getting new calipers your in for new ones now.

[@lilmike2710]

Thanks for the video. Someone had told me that i would need a tool to "spin" the caliper back into the hub. But thats for 99 and up model

[@themechanic6117]

Yes some cars do require that tool

[@lilmike2710]

I must apologize. I was TOTALLY wrong.. As i got into changing brakes and rotors i realized that a caliper tool is TOTALLY necessary to compress rear caliper pistons on a 97 and related model mustang. A simple c-clamp for the front though. I should delete my incorrect comment so I dont mislead anyone. It's a pain in the ass to be already into repairs and have to go right back to the parts store. But yes, a caliper tool is needed for this application. My bad bro...

[@josephribot2261]

Very very good, detailed info, & your a Latino, like me. Proud Boriqua...

[@themechanic6117]

Joseph Ribot thank you 👍💪

[@rickandalisonm]

I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣🤣

[@lilmike2710]

I got no problems with any of that. Just a question... Why if when a white dude would say the same thing "your proud white dude like me" do people lose they dam mind? It's as if they afraid of us... Makes no sense at All. I want EVERYONE to be proud of who they are. All i can say is that anyone who tries to tell you or anyone that whites should be ashamed should be punched square in the snot box. Because what they say is POISON. I ain't tryin to start nothin for real.. Im just sayin. We are getting tired of all that mess that the GLOBALISTS have stirred up.. And they don't care about anyone but themselves and they money 💰.. "Divide and conquer". It's a Marxist ideology meant to bring Socialism to America.. I for one would sell my life dearly to preserve Americas Liberty FOR ALL.... And I'd proudly fight next to anyone from anywhere. Especially a Latina. Because if they can fight anything like the way they can box then the enemy had better pack a lunch. Sorry but i had to get that off my chest.

[@FabioHirtSOWER-PASTOR]

I have replaced my calipers , do e the bleeding and all , brakes work fine except the e-brake , I see the cable pulling the bracket all the way but there’s no compression , any insights ? Great vid by the way , thanks !

[@EXOVCDS]

They look a lot like VW calipers... maybe one of them would fit (but probably twice the price)! =)

[@themechanic6117]

+Thomas EXOVCDS for some reason these mustang parts are difficult to find. For a mustang I figured you can get any part you want.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I have Mustang rears on my Ranger...Anybody considering a rear brake mod -- for converting to disc brakes -- I highly recommend a proportional valve (with manual tuning capability). Reason is, my truck is 4100 lbs., a '98 stock Mustang is around 3500 lbs, give or take a couple hundred pounds. That means your conversion needs to take into account the stock weight of the donor, vs. the weight of your vehicle. Otherwise, you may wear out your pads quicker due to a heavier weight (more friction to stop a higher amount of mass).

[@themechanic6117]

+Isaiah Welch good info

[@marcosmedina6940]

No caliper tension slips

[@mattybo4549]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the end

[@trishahouston3656]

Do you know if the 97 mustang brakes will fit on a 97 f150 2WD? 8.8 rear end? Probably have to change the backing plate?

[@themechanic6117]

Sorry i dont know

[@thomasgrant8409]

Anyone else notice he didn't use any caliper hardware?

[@themechanic6117]

Damn, you're right. I didn't notice that. I guess that's what happens when you get caught up making a video and forget something like the hardware 👎

[@DmariusSimmons-fy2ww]

[@grandprz1008]

Skipped the brake cable

[@Mattyyyyokdmsbansmsmsns]

you didnt install the clips, and the tool to compress the piston is not correct....not the best job

[@themechanic6117]

Which clips? And what tool should I be using?

[@cpu64]

Looked like a piston turning tool to me..
