Ernest can I give you one small piece advice. When on a complex with property management, mangers get mad because of debris and stains left behind on pavement or asphalt. Just place a small square plastic tarp 2 ft X 2 ft under the area to be worked on. You can also place a couple of shop rags or towels down on the tarp. Rags or towels will contain the minor fluid leaks, tarp will keep and contain everything else. Just before placing the tire back on slide the tarp out and dispose of debris in a proper receptacle. Done, everything nice and neat you have now created a tremendous amount of good will with property management.

Living in the rust belt (ohio) it was always a much dreaded job to work on brakes. I really don't remember a time that everything went well. Usually the bleeder screws were seized and required heat to get them loose, the wheels are rusted on. The caliper pins are stuck. And at least one bleeder breaks off. The one you are working on doesn't look sooooo bad. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

As a rust belt mechanic I use the biggest dead blow I have on hand to knock a wheel off. I also have used a propane torch around where the rotor and wheel meet and thermal shock it with seafoam deep creep. After everything is off I like to use sand paper or a "cookie wheel" on a die grinder to clean all contact surfaces off. I often just apply a little motor oil with a shop towel on the surface. As for rotors I like to us air hammer with a flat "hammer" bit or the biggest hammer I have on hand.

Two or three kicks and she's off - 100% of the time!

Another job well done. Those wheels are usually greased with a bore greaser at the Ford factory to ease removal and it usually gets cleaned off later by nonfactory people which is sometimes why the wheel seizes on there. It also helps prevent galvanic corrosion if they have a wheel made of something other than steel. I’m like the other commenters as well, I personally park my Stepvan near where I’m working in case there’s an emergency and need a specific tool ASAP and people will ask me to move if I’m in the way.

If it were me I would have parked right behind the truck in the middle of parking lot. 2 reasons, 1 people see you a professional and are less likely to be concerned about you messing around with a “regular” vehicle there. 2 it is great advertisement. Surprisingly even though your truck is in the parking lot in a spot people won’t notice, first time you park in the middle of the road people will see it and think hey this guy services this area and they will grab your number off the truck for future use. If you are blocking parking most I will repeat MOST people will be civilized and ask you to move if you are in their way.
