Thank you, the video was very helpful. I did my wife's Explorer yesterday. Cranking that piston back in is the hardest part of the job. Trying to hold the caliper in one hand and cranking the tool with the other is difficult, especially at the start. I miss the old days when a C-Clamp was all you needed.

Agree! I have everything apart and now I have an Explorer up on jacks for two days waiting for the caliper piston compressor tool. Wish I would have watched this video before doing this myself.

This was very comprehensive. The details felt very complete but not overextended with too many words.

I can't find any mention about taking up the slack in the emergency brake. I assume with no mention, that you just actuate it until it adjusts up and takes the slack out of the pads & rotor. Maybe it doesn't need to be adjusted once the calipers have been actuated hydraulically?

Do you recommend to change the rotors everytime the pads are changed or every other time?
@danielguzman83462 жыл бұрын
@@luislozano8728 un simple comentario. Si los rotores estan muy jodidos cambialos pero si ves que todavia aguantan dejalos. Pero puedes chekiar que no tengas como rallas o en ves de redonde tenga una como desgaste en el medio como cuando le.pasas la.mano y siente ke en ves de plano esta como ovalado . alli si los tienes k cambiar para no gastar doble

Do you recommend putting new rotos every time the pads are changed?
