This video shows you how to install front brake pads and rotors on your 2001-2007 Ford Escape. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:

Did i miss something? When did you remove the tie rod end? What did that have to do with the brakes?

[@davidchapman8555]

The clips on the inboard pad were very difficult to insert into the piston. I saw clear lube on the old pad I removed.

Arent you supposed to remove the nuts in a star pattern? Literally every mechanic ive watched has done it that way
