Front Brakes Ford Ranger Ford Everest Mazda BT50 - Step by Step details

[@floyn1]

FYI - after following this procedure I ended up with a soft pedal, even after bleeding. The service guy at Mazda said on older vehicles (my BT is 2015) that he will always crack the bleeders when pushing the pistons back in. Anyway, I had a full flush done and still had a sinking pedal. Turned out was air in the ABS pump/module. After a bit of research I found that by going onto grass or gravel and doing a bunch of lock ups until you feel the pedal pulsing, this will allow the airlock to sort itself. Got a good pedal feel back. I also took the small lip off the outer edge of the disc carefully with a flap disc, this can give a spongy feel until the pad is fully bedded. I hope this helps anyone who runs into the same issues I did.

Excellent well explained replacement video, thanks from a Ranger owner.

Thanks for watching!

This is one of the best videos I´ve seen on KZbin. Thank you so much!

[@killawattgarage]

Wow, thank you!

[@larspeterson1438]

Another Ranger owner thanks you 🙏 Bloody awesome presentation - well done!!

[@killawattgarage]

Thanks so much mate!

Nice descriptive video, if you don't have a proper piston seating tool a C type clamp woks well with an old pad and has an advantage of being able to be centred evenly pushing the pistons back into their housing, one other point check how much space is available in master cylinder reservoir, if brake fluid has been topped up it may end up leaking on some vehicles.

Extremely informative. I couldn’t ask for a better How To Vid on the subject! Many thanks

[@killawattgarage]

No worries, thanks for watching!

[@alancoller1602]

I might be wrong but was told by mechanic ABS can’t push pistons back you have to loosen calliper bleed screw and push out fluid that way.

Awesome video... thank you!

Hey im still abit confused at what sound im hearing still comingfrom my front caliper area, Iv replaced my front brake pads along with new shims or what ever those small tin things are called on both front sides.But when i slowly start to drive off in first gear and right upto about mid second gear a tinging sound can be heard coming from the caliper area still it is a continuous sound until i get upto a certain speed and it goes away. If anyone just happens to understand what issue i have and help me out be very much appreciated. Fully stumped

Great video thank you. Your diction is perfect. Cheers from W.A. 👍

[@killawattgarage]

Many thanks!

[@LEONBEC]

Excelent video. Gracias!!!

[@floyn1]

Great video, thanks. I've just changed my pads, squeezed the pistons back nice and gently, but have a soft pedal even after a bit of running around. Assuming a simple bleed should sort it out?

[@killawattgarage]

Most likely a different feel due to the new pads but should do a bleed to be safe.

[@floyn1]

@killawattgarage I've bled them and still got a sinking pedal.....you can see the pad is riding on the lip at the outer extreme of the rotor. Should I smooth the lip off and re-bleed? I also go told air can get in the abs pump which is hard to bleed?

[@killawattgarage]

@@floyn1if air gets into the ABS pump you typically bleed via the OBD2 connection and with a scan tool. If the pad is stilling on the lip then the lip should be machined if it’s bad.

[@floyn1]

@killawattgarage OK thanks for the advice.

[@robertgwalsh5878]

Thank you.

[@jamesleicher]

this is so good,dealer changed my rotors at 30k on 2015 xlt ranger ,you got any vids on changing brake fluid?apparently need be done every 2 years

[@lindelani7807]

Hi How often must one change the disc brake ? You got yourself a new subscriber 😅

[@killawattgarage]

With brakes it comes down to driving styles and conditions. The factory fitted front brakes on this car were at 230,000km which is a good run. The rears have been done twice in this same time.

[@maofv]

Hello. Just wondering why would you by a new rotor in this case, was it in a very bad shape? Mine are around 130,000 km and I would consider resurfacing first if needed (and if manufacturer's specs permit). Perhaps resurfacing is not a safe option? Thank you!

[@killawattgarage]

Resurfacing is fine, I just did the video this way as the 'Average Joe' doesn't have a resurfacing machine.

Super, interesante, qué spray utilizas ?

[@killawattgarage]

Brake cleaner spray

[@satriapratama5639]

Hi, how to adjust the handbrake height

[@dariog3038]

Good job!

[@killawattgarage]

Thanks!

[@Lugenfabrik]

Any thoughts on spraying a little AT205 or something that will condition the rubber boots and pistons a bit? Seems like an easy step to take that will give those rubber parts a longer life.

[@killawattgarage]

Good tip
