Thanks for this video! Its been a great guide and help to work on my trucks brakes! Much appreciated!

[@lazerd21]

Doing my brakes now.... The entire shoe pads turned into chunks. Thanks for the helpful vid.

[@rickymccarthy2876]

Awesome video, you described and detailed what needed to be done and what you can save so its more easier now. Thanks this helped out so much 🤙

[@tim8166]

Outstanding, clear, video, thank you! I changed the rear rotors on my 2007 F150 this weekend and damaged the parking brake pads when removing the rusted on rotors. They were original to the truck and had seen 16 Michigan winters. Your video will make installing new parking brakes a breeze!

[@maxtap1]

Great Video from start to finish. this the same on my 2015 F150. ill be doing the same thing today but mine is waaay rustier. Its unbelievable.

[@robertcloyd5775]

[@AzBlkHawk]

Saved the video for when I need to do them on my truck. Just finished doing all 4 rotors and pads

[@tim8166]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@leviajohns]

Well done for solo how to video, saved me from making some mistakes

[@michaelsmithjr8703]

Great video helped me do my brakes. Thank you.

[@ja-bv3lq]

Thanks for the great video - I will be tackling the same job on my 2005 F150 next weekend. This video helped me know what I'm in for. 👍

[@ljaysperspective1775]

Thank you I really appreciate this video. I'm a day guy and I enjoy working on my truck. I am a handy man but I have no former technical training except doing it myself or now you tube video from either another day guy or a trained mechanic, such as urself. Thx again.👍

[@jonathanandrews1407]

This setup is the same as my 1998 lincoln navigator. HUGE help man! So I would imagine anyone reading through the comments 97-02 ford trucks would probably all be the same. Thanks again man, great content...subbed.

[@jpulley]

Thanks for the comment

[@5hills983]

Good informative video. I did one wheel yesterday. I’ve got the same type of pin clips and appreciate you showing use of the round brake tool for compressing the clip and getting it on the pin. Thanks jpulley

[@jpulley]

My brake light was not on when I first realized I needed to replace these. For me while driving the truck would jerk. I thought the transmission might be going out. After some troubleshooting I realized that the little bit of ebrake I had left was stuck engaged. Even though it was metal on metal it definitely make the wheel not turn smoothly. I could have just removed the e-brakes altogether and that would have made the truck roll without jerking. Since My driveway is on a hill I decided I needed to replace the parking brake shoes. Since then I did get a ABS light come on but it has not changed the way it drives. If I were to smash the brakes hard they would probably lock up instead of pulsing like ABS supposed to. if I were you I would definitely remove the wheel and check if your parking brake is stuck.

Thanks for this great video, both sided of my 06 fell out in pieces when I pulled off disk/drum.

You are a hero!

[@mid-west_man]

Great video thanks for sharing.

[@sandrarichardson2713]

You did a fabulous job videoing this start to finish. Wow!! What a job to tackle. I am wanting to replace pads and rotors on the back but read where sometimes the e-brake just falls out in pieces when you remove the rotor. Can you just ignore it if it does that? Can you even drive your truck to the parts store to get the parts you need? I think you are a champ for going after those. I was exhausted by the time you did just one side. lolol Oh but what a wonderful feeling knowing they are replaced and a job done right to boot. Thanks a whole lot....super video. Jesus bless.

[@jpulley]

Yeah as long as you don't have parts rubbing in that inner drum I don't think it would be a problem driving to the store and back.

[@housepumpinpc3983]

Good video. I have a 2000 F150 and I hear it's the same setup. The previous owner eliminated the parking brake. I had to find an in depth video on the parts repair/replacement. The e-brake levers are missing but I wouldn't have known that without the video. Two questions. 1) The brake adjustment. Is there a clip/retainer to stop the cam from moving freely? 2) Shouldn't you use a bit of brake grease on the contact points on the shoes where they touch the backing plate? I appreciate your video.

Great video!!!

[@timklassen421]

thank you sir ,any way the rotor looks kind of rough ?

[@Cfyufugfuyug]

Nice job

[@cleverbeast1563]

Great video! Except I tell my wife… “See babe it’ll only take me 15 minutes and 34 seconds to knock this out! 😂 Thanks for your sharing your work!

[@jpulley]

Lol, 😂. It might take a little longer.

[@siberwolf33]

No links were found in the description. Also if you don't have or want that Amazon caliper tool a C clamp will work just fine. I'm sure the Amazon tool makes life easier though. Good tutorial.

[@jpulley]

Thanks for letting me know I forgot to post the links. They're in now.

[@danp7463]

Good video. Try pastelube it's a ceramic based, safe on plastic caliper slide pin bushings and has a high heat resistant rating. I swear by it.

[@hatchetjack7568]

Thank you. 👍😀

[@Chach151]

When clicking on your rear parking brake shoe link, the website states it will not fit my 2005 F-150 FX4. Did you buy this exact one for your F150 gen 11?

[@jpulley]

@@Chach151 I just bought what Amazon shown was a fit for my truck. I'm pretty certain there's not any difference between my 2004 lariat and your 2005 FX4 in respect to parking brake setup. If it was me I would go ahead and buy the kit. You could always send it back if it came to that.

[@Chach151]

[@Hoptimus_Prime]

What do I Google to find that engaging part that can get locked up?

[@jpulley]

@@Hoptimus_Prime it's called the brake lever. Here's a kit for that part with new rubber boots amzn.to/4gNP4RT

[@mrtennessee1988]

Which way are you turning the adjuster to bring the shoes out? Up or down? Nobody ever says that

[@jpulley]

At 13:07 I'm adjusting downward to push the brakes outward. However if the drum was still on and you were accessing the sprocket through the hole in the back you would be rotating upward to moves the brakes out. The main thing to know that the if you were looking at it from the front of the truck counter clockwise will push the mechanism outward. Counter clockwise will draw it in.

[@narfoxone9er971]

​@@jpulleywhat was said was clearly a mistake.... from the front of the truck looking to the back no matter what side you're on from outside the truck or underneath the truck clockwise = tighten

[@vladimirmendez6445]

y dentro de un mes debes ajustarlos de nuevo ya que tomaron la forma del tambor..

[@luisdonis3953]

Does a 2008 ford f150 2wheel drive have 2 parking brake cables ?

[@jpulley]

@@luisdonis3953 I don't know this for an absolute fact but I would imagine it would be the same way that it is in a four-wheel drive it's one cable starting from the front and then as it goes back that connects to two separate cables to pull each side

Heavy vibration/thumping driving at 40 mph.wont stop.bad wheel bearings or emergency brake stuck? Coming front end.

[@jpulley]

I had something similar happen to me. I thought it was the transmission. I was jerking pretty hard. Turns out my parking brake was sticking. This lead to me doing this video to replace the parking brakes.

[@adamr3028]

@@jpulley can we not just cut the braking line off and be done with it? dont really need it unless on a hill.whats the worst to happen if i cut the line?

[@adamr3028]

Which way,up or down,loosens the e-brake when adjusting the lil spider gear?

[@vince2997]

Does this apply to the Expeditions as well? For some reason I can’t find ANY info online for a 2005 Expedition. Any help is greatly appreciated!

[@jpulley]

Someone said in the comments section that this is the same for the Lincoln Navigator therefore I would say it is the same for the expedition

[@vince2997]

@@jpulley thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help!

[@realmayhem7258]

what is the ceased part called? the one your ebrake connects to?

[@jpulley]

It's a parking brake lever. You can get this kit here to replace all those parts if you want: amzn.to/3UnM1qh

[@johnjanocsko5137]

I appreciate your video and it is well done, however I hate it when videographers add “magic“ to their videos. At 4:46, you added ‘video magic’ to your video where “This” suddenly comes out easily and without explanation. There is a cable on the back “This” that is very tricky to handle with a strong spring that needs to be released. I pushed the tabs as you explained, but did not show, and everything remained under tension. I am sure now at a point where I am struggling to figure out how to relieve the tension of that spring to get the, “This” out to clean it up. I know you struggled in the same manner manner as I am now, but chose not to show how you did it. Why not? If you are going to show your experience with stuff like this, please show all of your struggles, because we will be going through those same struggles, and it helps us to learn firsthand and then decide whether we want to tackle a job like this. Thank you for hearing me out. I do appreciate your video, and I want you to understand that. I am just making a suggestion that would be more helpful to all of us.

[@jpulley]

Yeah it was some trial and error on my end until I finally popped the cable out of the bracket once the cable was free on the bracket it gave me the slack I needed to get it off. When the cable popped free I was still in trial and error not knowing that would solve me problem. So I didn't have the camera running facing the back of the brake assembly. @ 6:30 I explain how how I pressed in the tabs and I was able to slip the cable through bracket. Thanks for the feedback, I will try to include more details about hiccups I have in the future.

[@BoltActionBob]

Those caliper bolts stripped out on me. Had to use a pipe wrench!

[@jpulley]

Ooh that sucks glad you were able to get them off. luckily parts for these truck fairly easy to come by.

[@moedeclerk6688]

THis only adjust the disc brake - no fix with pedal or lines.

[@jpulley]

If your pads are gone like mine were you will feel nothing when you press your parking brake pedal all the way to the floor. When I replaced my brake pads that tightened up the brake pedal. If there is something else wrong with your pedal or brake cables/lines you will have to address those item independently from what you see me do in this video.

Thank You Sir!
