Ford Escape Front Brake Pads & Rotors Replacement

This video will show you how to replace the front brake pads and rotors performed on a 2012 Ford Escape (same setup from 2005 to 2012). These are floating calipers and this hardware design is typically found in European automobiles. There are no abutment clips. The inside pad is spring mounted into the caliper piston and remains fixed. Both pads ride on the caliper bracket's upper and lower rails. An external spring presses the caliper to the caliper bracket to prevent vibration. As the pads wear, the caliper moves on the two pins that hold the caliper to the caliper bracket.

You'd have to bleed the brakes if you did that.
