[@DiscipleDad7]

I was just getting to go through and write this down..thanks 😊

[@talleman1]

Is that 1 1/16th nut?

[@charlesvictorrose]

How many doobies? You've listed no doobies.

[@lucaseq77]

I was ALWAYS yelling at these videos for not mentioning about reservoir levels while compressing pistons in the calipers AND not using bungy cord to support weight if the calipers....Good job there!

[@codyweien4513]

20 years owning a motorcycle shop, and that fluid res advice was excellent.

[@charlesvictorrose]

Well, actually, when you doing a job like this you want to disconnect the rubber brake line hose from the entire system to push your piston in. Many of these newer vehicles have abs braking systems that can be severely damaged by back pressure in the system. Unless you know specifically the job you're doing is safe from that type of damage. My '74 pick-up truck is safe, no abs brakes.

great JOB bro, 22 years old, breaking the mold. Thats when I bought my first ford manual, f-150 XLT 5.4L 2001, 1 week before 9/11, and 267,000 miles later, it is still purring. Keep it goin

[@lucaseq77]

I have to add....this is better than pro mechanics...

[@johnjoseph3517]

You’re hilarious and very helpful. Thanks for the effort you put into filming this.

[@iamdjnam]

Hahaha no problem!

[@camposvazquez]

​@@iamdjnam thank you.. are you still in possession of this van?.. If so... Will you be doing a video o. The rear brake job? Thank you again.. I had no idea how to torque the slider bolts for the caliper bracket correctly...

[@iamdjnam]

@@camposvazquez eventually I will do a rear brake video

[@camposvazquez]

@@iamdjnam Thank you.. Imy 97 E 350 has rear drums... I think you have discs.. I am going to research if I can upgrade from a newer van

[@whitediver45]

Thank you for this video.

[@NoahTravels]

Thank you so much this video was extremely helpful and informative💯

[@throughthesebrowneyes5485]

Thank you for this video! Gave me confidence, considering doing it on my own now instead of forking out 1k! 🥰

[@iamdjnam]

Happy to help. Any questions I’m here.

[@lawadm1]

Very helpful, especially the torque specs thank you

[@MilitarySVINGchildrenWAKEUP]

Nut holder thing ....technical jargon

[@Here4theTshirt]

Very well done.

[@tomfrantz]

thank you

Good job

[@Slidewxyz]

I purchased front rotors that came with the bearing pre installed, do i need to grease the spindle before installing? Thank great tutorial 🫡

[@Slidewxyz]

In response to my own question I solved it and learned another thing about the job. - bearings did not come pre installed. - lots of grease is required During my installation I reinstalled the front bearing that comes out upon removal of the rotor/hub assembly. But what stumped me was the rear bearing (which was not explained in this video as he stated). I learned the hard way as to why it sounded like a 12 ton metal bin was being dragged down the street on the test drive. The rear bearing was missing, why? Because it needs to be pried off the backside of the old rotor/hub assembly. Yes, its a good idea to swap out old with new, but in this case i just swapped the existing bearings and its fine and is an easy job in the future. Just use a flat head and a hammer and act like you are taking the lid off a paint can with the rear bearing. Installing is like your putting a paint lid back on, clockwise gentle hits to seal it properly!

Thanks . Very helpful.

Nice. Thank you

Happy to subscribe

[@sergioibarra5591]

Great video helped me a lot , but I think you missed the shims or clips that hold the pads in place ?

[@iamdjnam]

Yeah the pads wouldn’t fit with the eBay shims so I didn’t use them

[@thetripimon]

How are people so smart!

[@SantaClaus-CocaCola]

Good informational

[@ultimatediyguy395]

What are the part #’s for the inner and outer bearings and the bearing seal that goes behind the rotor

[@paulluongo2756]

Good video... Im about to do this to my truck... I'll get the new mounting brackets with the break pads before I start....

[@jhuyyyyy]

Nice job

[@greenbassboosts8872]

I opened the bleeder. I dont want to force the fluid back through the system. I came here looking for how to grease the caliper slides, not seeing how yet

[@brookster17]

Hey thank you very much for this video. Do you have to bleed the brakes after doing this? I just have to change out my rotors.

[@iamdjnam]

Nope no bleeding is necessary

[@BrewerCooker]

Kick the tire at 3o’clock not on top at 12 so the toes don’t get involved on the fender.

[@iamdjnam]

Good deal

[@raccooncity8356]

Him: this will be easy, just follow my video Him at the end: yeah this sucked Okay dude, which is it???😂 thanks for the guide tho

[@iamdjnam]

It was easy. Rust sucks.

[@raccooncity8356]

@@iamdjnam why didn't you try penetrating oil? But honestly. I'm replacing everything, lug nuts, bearings, seal, rotor. You put those rusty lugnuts on your brand new studs and now your studs will rust 🤦‍♂️

[@iamdjnam]

@raccooncity8356 who gives a shit it’s a work van

[@HonzoSample]

Do the bearing races (cups) come as part of the rotor assembly? it looks like my rotors already have bearing races in them. Is this common?

[@iamdjnam]

Yes they all come pre installed

[@nickarmstrong4477]

Was it just me or did you torque the lugnuts in a circle??

[@rainypath96]

good job

[@miguelsanfle6121]

Hey brother if you want do you have the option to just change the front rotor and no the bearings or how you know what you got to Change both!?

[@iamdjnam]

You must either remove and reuse the old bearing or put new

[@chrig844]

I need add abs on mine due these rotors come with the wheel bearing?

[@iamdjnam]

Nah you need to put the bearings in. The race is already installed though.

[@theelifeofdez381]

How much would you charge to do the 2 front brakes

[@iamdjnam]

Probably 200 labor

[@dangerline95]

It’s hard to tell in the video, are the inner bearing tapered?

[@iamdjnam]

Yes

[@dangerline95]

@@iamdjnam thank you

[@scuba602]

For all of them? From 1960 thru 2011? Or…?

[@iamdjnam]

The concept and procedure is pretty much identical for any vehicle using an in-rotor bearing assembly.

[@youtubefireworks]

That frame is rusted...my van is a 03 and I'm hoping it isn't as bad as this van. Always look at the frame of a car when buying used. You'll save yourself alot of time and money

[@iamdjnam]

Frame is fine on this van.

[@theelifeofdez381]

Your 22?! I thought you were 30 year old dad 😂

[@negemyshibalbeckbojiya4875]

There weren't any brake pad retaining clips? I didn't have on my van when I did the brakes but they came with a new caliper can't figure out how to get them on for the life of me and the one video I found doesn't look right. Lol

[@iamdjnam]

Mine didn’t have any

[@mando719ad]

I'm having trouble figuring this clips out too....I fucking hate Ford
