What tools do I need

[@michaelalzamora1551]

great video except one thing,my 2007 escape takes a 7mm hex.i went out and got a 9mm,hard to find,hade every thing ready.had to put wheel back on and go get a 7mm...but good video....

[@dougpoulton5544]

My 2005 Escape also had 7mm hex for guide pins. One of my plastic caps was missing that covers the rubber boot on the guide pins. Whoever did the last brake job probably dropped it, it rolled under a table and he said screw it and left it off. So I ordered a boot kit, I think it was $4, from Rockauto (Carlson 16113) and the boots and caps were too small. The original caps were .85 and the new ones I ordered were .66 in diameter??? WTF? I found a plastic cap in a scrounge box full of misc hardware, I think it was a protective cap for some sort of a swagelok fitting, but it works. Now I'm wondering if Ford did it again and uses a hodge-podge of mix and match parts on their brakes?

[@darooster5787]

dude your caliper hanging in mid air ! break line is f***

[@aDIYCarGuy]

lmao. It's a light weight caliper, not going to hurt the line. The lines are not fragile, as they are very important.

[@farmer998]

@@aDIYCarGuy needed changing any way

[@josephrasmussen1078]

He said he was going to change it, that comment was unnecessary.

[@That90sDad]

Only thing I would have done different is I would have tightened the lug nuts in a star-like pattern to ensure everything was tightened evenly and the wheel isn't on crooked.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

I torque them in some kind of criss cross pattern, then go around and double check them in succession.

[@That90sDad]

@@aDIYCarGuy I would even double check their tightness in a star like pattern. Going around leaves room for error.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

@@That90sDad fair enough :)

[@jannyjan6623]

You shouldn't let the caliper hanging on the brake line lime that.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

The small weight of a small caliper is not going to hurt the brake line.

[@rmcdaniel423]

Fair point. But in his defense, he already inspected the brake lines, saw cracked rubber casings, and said he was already planning to replace them anyway.

[@mkrp4]

I believe, it's 7 mm?

[@mkrp4]

hex size for caliper bolt

[@mkrp4]

This is what I used www.autozone.com/screwdrivers/driver-bit/duralast-7-mm-hex-bit/947313_0_0

[@mkrp4]

2002 Mazda Trubute and 2005 Escape

[@neilvetter662]

9mm hex

[@garymartin8619]

U really need to support the calipers hard on brake hose

[@aDIYCarGuy]

naw they're light calipers

[@fabio40]

Dude, you forgot to grease the sliders.

[@rmcdaniel423]

Got to 3:10 -- are those the sliders he "forgot" to grease?

[@fabio40]

No. About 4:21. You're supposed to put a dab of grease on the ears of the brake pads and the caliper bracket. @@rmcdaniel423

[@roberthernandez5513]

ou shouldn't let the caliper hanging on the brake line
