How To Change Mustang Brake Pads & Rotors (2015-2023)

[@Jvb18290]

This is how every tutorial video should be. There's not 15 minutes of someone with a crappy camera trying to get good angles, talking about random stuff, giving advice, etc. Hahaha! This is PERFECT

[@sriavula]

misses a lot of small details, idk why everyones so keen on shorter videos.

[@nydrell1969]

Bad azz how 2 vdo in 6 minutes that's what I'm talking about straight to the point

[@tammyjo4082]

Mustang is beautiful!

[@Evillt1]

must play at half speed to keep up

[@bradhoward7565]

FYI, for the non-performance pack GT’s (4 piston caliper) the low-pad warning indicator is on the inbound pad, bottom, not the outbound pad, top, as is shown here with the Brembo calipers. Won’t fit the wrong way in though *tried :)*

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thank you for this feedback, please let us know if you need anything else!

[@gggg-hw5eb]

Brad Howard any good way to remove the pad pin? I tried pin punch, didn’t work well.

[@gggg-hw5eb]

*pins. Also mine is non PP. can’t find any good video on non PP brake pad change tutorial.

[@yashamaru61894]

@@gggg-hw5eb Hey did you ever manage to find a video?

[@charleshenson4183]

Extra brake dust due to the slots & semi drilled rotors shaving more mat'l off of the pad,wearing them down ALOT quicker & be prepared for ALOT more noise as well. They look great though 😊

[@Badger_S197]

They also crack a lot easier :/

[@Rob-pl4wl]

@@Badger_S197 bro what😭

[@ohboy2592]

@@Rob-pl4wlhe’s right. Drilled rotors form stress cracks on the edges of the holes if they aren’t high quality rotors and they see heavy braking like on a track. Slotted rotors perform just as good with less issues and you have more material for pad to bite

[@bobbob-jw6zf]

Any difference when doing the 4 piston fronts compared to the Brembo's?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Give our tech team a call at 866-507-3786.

[@bradhoward7565]

A couple differences - see the warning indicator comment above, also doesn’t have the 13mm pin on back side of pads/rotor- instead has a flimsy wire that hooks through the ends of the slim retaining pins.

[@-Wreckanize-]

@@bradhoward7565 Question, do you remove those wires completely? Or just pop them out of the pins?

[@javarisjavaris4877]

I was stuck on the rear piston, the boot kept twisting and the tool would be stuck. Took a lot of elbow grease and wd40 for the boot to finally shift and move with the piston. The rest was fairly straightforward but still took a full day for me! Also once done, when I brake very aggressively, I get rough judders, dont know if i messed up something or thats because of the drilled rotors.

[@areyou0k98]

Are the rear slide pin 14mm bolts one time use only or is it just the 18mm main caliper bolts that are one time use?

[@latemodelrestoration]

The rear slide pin bolts can be reused. -Landan

[@SARDOG]

So, my retaining pins have a wire spring holding them in place on the back side. I did not see you take them off or put them back on. My passenger side broke. Stupid question... can I drive my car to get to the dealership or are the pins going to rattle out?

[@OhNooItsTheCops]

i wanna know if he drove it to a dealer ship LMFAO

[@6ft3soldier]

I can't find one video on 4 piston brake and rotor installation . All are Brembo video installations.

[@mikehughes8023]

It’s the same process basically.

[@globalpilot76]

@@mikehughes8023No 13mm retaining bolt

[@alderikq167]

Someone answer me this question.. would It be better to perform this service on a inclined driveway or a flat surface.?

[@latemodelrestoration]

We highly recommend that you work on the car on a flat surface, not on a inclined driveway

[@Mvrtymvrr]

Does this same process apply for the stock 4 piston calipers?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hey Martin, this process does also apply to the stock 4 piston calipers, however, we did perform this video on a Brembo set up. So there will be some differences with the caliper when working on your Mustang.

[@Mvrtymvrr]

@@latemodelrestoration thank you for the reply, although I was late in seeing this. But I was successful figuring it out myself. Thank you!

[@Just_Vibing_Bro]

Hey man if you could please answer a quick question how much should this cost dealer was charging me 1,500

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hey there, That is a very high price. Most brake changes should be much less when replacing the rotors, pads, and labor cost. We recommend speaking to them about the cost and seeing if that is correct. Or take your vehicle to another trusted shop.

[@Just_Vibing_Bro]

@@latemodelrestoration if you don’t mind me asking on average what should the cost for all this be ? greatly appreciate your response !

[@jovo3dsmax]

I noticed at my s550 that the brake disc itself isn’t bolted to anything - so it’s flopping around when the wheel is off - it’s just held by the wheel when it’s on. Is that normal on a s550?

[@raidercorsos3805]

I got 2018 gt how much would it run me to change my brembo brakes

[@latemodelrestoration]

Depending on what model or package you have and brand of pads that you want, it can run you from $64.99 up to $180. Here's a link to our site for more: lmr.com/products/2015-2016-mustang-brake-pads

[@jmleanne2009]

Is this compatible with Mustang Ecoboost 2017 2.3 Liter

[@latemodelrestoration]

You will need to go with a Ecoboost brake set up if you're looking to upgrade. You will also need to make sure they are the right size for caliper clearance. Check out the link below for more: lmr.com/products/2015-Mustang-Brake-Rotors

[@sean9267]

The two 14mm bolts holding the caliper to the slide pins are stuck on my '17 Performance Pack. Guess I'm getting a shop to do it...

[@RemcosFPV]

Sean weak

[@jaesgarage615]

Get penetrating oil.

[@Texarmageddon]

WD40

[@jeff95ta83]

Aren't those main caliper bolts one time use?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Yes, the main caliper bolts on these models will be a one time use TTY bolt.

[@tf2heavy2]

What??? I have to buy new ones? Where would I do that...

[@jeff95ta83]

@@tf2heavy2 Ford dealer is your best bet, or OEM online.

[@SpeedyBoyy]

I didn't know you can use 14" rotor with those 6 piston Brembo's! I though I have to upgrade the rotors to 15 inch

[@latemodelrestoration]

What are you talking about? Could you please provide more detail. -Landan

[@SpeedyBoyy]

When I click on the rotors link you provide In the description, I match the rotors on this video and it says they are 14”. I thought for this 6 piston brembos, they required a 15” rotor. Maybe I am mistaken?

[@latemodelrestoration]

@@SpeedyBoyy Thanks for the additional detail. We linked the brake rotor and pad category. The 6-piston Brembos require 15" rotors. -Landan

[@SpeedyBoyy]

@@latemodelrestoration thank you for the clarification :)

[@sdiver68]

Should probably provide bolt TQ values...

[@gigi9467]

Steve D did u figure out the torque value for the rear caliprt bracket the 18mm bolts?

[@kodiak2fitty]

@@gigi9467 Ford shop manual says those are 24 lbft.

[@gigi9467]

Matthew Zaleski thanx ill write it down

[@jeff95ta83]

The 18mm bracket bolts are 129 lb-ft. 24 lb-ft is for the 14mm caliper bolts.

[@taruanmatthews9254]

am I screwed? I have 4 front brake pads and only one has a tab

[@Gwape_Jam]

Dang I know its too late and sorry no one else responded but thats just a tab that will contact the rotor to let you know when the pads are getting low

[@danielspencer299]

What calipers are those??

[@Mvrtymvrr]

They’re the 6 piston brembos that come on the PP models

[@tylervachon2439]

Is there a way to compress the front caliper pistons? Pads won’t go in

[@angst1974]

Just push them back with a screwdriver wrapped in a cloth , carefully . Some people use padded vice grips , or you can buy a brake spreader like shown in the video . It helps to take off the cap on the mater cylinder as well before you compress the pistons.

[@soulassassin4847]

A few ours lol

[@gigi9467]

Not thead lock on the bolts that go to the caliper??

[@latemodelrestoration]

Jesus - Ford puts it on there from the factory so you can reapply some if you'd like. I've never had an issue with caliper bolts backing out without thread locking compound. -Landan

[@kodiak2fitty]

Ford tech manual states those 2 bolts/caliper are one-use; Probably due to the heat they see. The new ones come with thread lock applied from the factory.

[@JMC8813]

Any torque specs handy? Struggling to find them on forums..

[@latemodelrestoration]

The cross pin would be 22 ft lbs and the caliper anchor to the spindles would be 85 ft lbs.

[@dannyrighi]

Does it comes with brembo calipers from factory ?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Our 2015 was a Performance Package/50th Anniversary. So it came factory with Brembo brakes. However, not every model will come with Brembos. - Jude H. - Social Media/Events Coordinator
