Thank you so much, Iv done brakes before but it’s been a while, just saved my daughter about 400.00 I’m guessing and dad looks like a hero

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice good job

[@Donbarbz]

I took my 2013 Lincoln 3.7 V6 MKZ (55k miles) to the dealership for an oil change today. They told me my rear brakes needed to be replaced. Said I had 2mm left before the pads were done n recommended me to have them repaired. Price $389.00. I said nope, called Autozone n got a price on thr pads of $29.99. I'm going to try n do it myself. Thanks

[@RBTheMechanic]

Easy job bro!!!! Get some tools it’s worth it and in long run tools will pay themselves!!!! Let me know how it went and double check ur work

[@Donbarbz]

@@RBTheMechanic thank you bro, will do. I have a few tool n sockets etc. But I gotta get the tool that depresses the caliper part. I'll definitely let u know how it goes. Thanks again.

Well done sir! Not too fast and not too slow and all the tricks and details to boot, thank you! I have my front and rear to do this weekend on my 2016 MKX.

Cool let me know how it goes!! Take ur time and use lube on points

[@styldsteel1]

Hello again. The only minor surprise issue i ran into was tfst after i put the brakes in service mode, ( which the first time is tricky). The rear pistons had to be screwed in as opposed to compressed. There are two notches on the piston that allows this. Once i did this, everything was smooth, like my wife's 03 Accord 😅😅😊😊

[@RBTheMechanic]

Glad u got it done!!

I NEED THE BRAKE COMPRESSION TOOL 😂

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yes u can also push it with hand it was very smooth

[@quetzcoatl80]

I was under the impression that the rear break piston had a special compressor tool that rotated it back flush. I have a 2016 MKZ hybrid

[@RBTheMechanic]

U might have this same systym there’s no rotating the piston u need to command it for service more

I have a 2020 Nautilus are the brakes the same? Do you have a video that shows rotors also.

[@RBTheMechanic]

I don’t think they r same and I don’t have video on it

[@DjKaykoe1]

Is it a 7mm allen or a 8mm you said both in the video . I'm jus trying to know for sure before I buy the part

[@RBTheMechanic]

Use 8

[@SHHuUuUurRREeEEE]

One question once completed and you push the break pedal till it’s tight then bleed the air out of the lines right? Then repeat till you have no air coming out just brake fluid. I remember the old cars you did that i didn’t know if it would still apply to the new cars I’m sure it would?

[@RBTheMechanic]

There’s no need to bleed the air once’s ur all completed replacing brakes press the brake several times it will retract the caliper back then u need to put the electric brake on and off and it will retract back As long as u didn’t remove any brake lines that allow air to enter no need to bleed

[@valis992000]

Do the rear pistons not need to be rotated as they go in? Another video I found on the MKX says that the pistons on the rear are threaded in (I have a Pontiac with a similar setup). Is this maybe only on the MKZ? Or maybe it's the year, the vide I saw it on was a 2016.

[@RBTheMechanic]

If it’s not electrical then it need to be rotated

[@patrickkervick6764]

Does it work for the front brakes too? You have to put it in service mode?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Front r more simple no need to do these service mode steps

[@LONPISTOLPACKINPEEZY]

The Allen wrench size u need is 7. He says 8 and 7 in the vid

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok sorry

[@larrygibbs5970]

Thanks for the info

[@WGMedia]

Do you know how to put the piston back in the caliper? I pressed the brake after taking the rotor off and the piston popped out, i had not put it in to service mode yet

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well wheel piston pops out u have to replace the caliper

[@michaelcox1397]

Thank You 😊

[@hou_heights]

I don't know what I did wrong, but I changed my brakes and rotors. Or everything back together, but the brake caliper is loose as heck now. But everything is tight. Plz help!

[@RBTheMechanic]

What u mean caliper is loose ?? U mean it’s not gripping the rotors

[@marlonmcbrando4712]

What is the spring for and why onlyu on the inside? Both my pads have the spring

[@RBTheMechanic]

Which spring at what time frame u see it in the video

[@ohiorn34]

What happens if someone changes the rear brake pads without putting it into maintenance mode? Asking for a friend who now has two warning lights on her dash. 2016 Lincoln MKC

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well if they got electric parking caliper there is no way they can put brake on whtout Maintance mode or manually take part the caliper actuator. But he need to scan the car for codes.

[@melaniet00]

What if you forgot to put in maintenance mode and took the brakes apart. Then it gets locked either the piston or caliper. So how do you push it back in?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well can u out it back togather and do the Maintance mode?

[@melaniet00]

@RB The Mechanic Well, We tried and just couldn't push it back in. It was a little hard! So I end up taking it into a shop! Ty though

[@JohnyVega-k1n]

What if u used a commpresson tool and the piston retracted but u didnt enter the service mode first?

[@RBTheMechanic]

First I don’t think that’s possable mostlikely it’s broken caliper

How do you keep the pad spaced properly away from the rotor?

[@RBTheMechanic]

U don’t keep them spaced away they work their way away from rotor as long as they r free hood question my friend !!! Make sure they have tiny bit lube on pads that touch bracket they just move away from rotation of rotors
