2023- haven’t changed brakes in years. This video helped a ton! Saved about $400

[@s33therfan]

Glad this could help out , thank you for the feedback.

[@OGRH]

Great video man! I haven’t quite determined if I’m going to do just brake pads, or if the grinding noise is something more, but one thing is for sure… your video with those torque values will be the standard! Thanks for sharing!

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the terrific feedback , it is much appreciated.

[@gordonmiller7969]

Grinding noise? Prepare to replace The rotors.🙋🏻‍♂️

[@BobbyJHeupel]

Thanks for the video. Really helped! On a side note, your voice is almost identical to one of my favorite youtubers. Pecos Hank. He’s an awesome storm chaser. Pretty neat!

Was looking everywhere for how to install those spring tabs. Everytime I look up a 2017 model they show something completely different. They show spring tabs for the pads being installed in the outsides of the caliper. Was getting frustrated by it. Thanks a bunch.

[@s33therfan]

Glad this helped , thank you very much for taking the time to leave great feedback.

Brake grease on the clips to help slide. Where is it

[@garnerwa]

Great video and good camera work. Thanks!

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for watching

[@23jhonboy]

Great video! @6:45 is it necessary to do this step to put the c clamps on the old pads and pistons? I don’t have any c clamps right now that’s why I ask.

[@s33therfan]

You can use a flat screwdriver while the caliper is still bolted on and push the pistons back by prying against the old pad. Thanks for watching.

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

Does this model give you a warning when the pads are getting that low? And great video.

[@s33therfan]

I do not believe this year came with that feature. Thank you for the great feedback.

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

@@s33therfan Okay thanks. Mine is the Interceptor model, curious if these types of vehicles usually have the brake wear indicators, the little metal clips.

[@LewisRenovation]

Great video. Thanks for posting. Nice close up shots too, I know they are hard to get right. Those cicadas are getting after it. You in Texas?

[@m0nster117]

Do you need to reinstall those springs it didnt look like you did at all .

[@walmirreinholzflorio7220]

Well done video and explanations. Good job!

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the terrific feedback , it is much appreciated.

[@hectorjimenez101]

What is loc tite for? I mean I know what it’s used for but is it really necessary

[@henryravenel6797]

What year is your explorer? We have a 2017 and I could not figure out the clip system. I got car quest premium gold pads that were recommended for my vehicle and just could not figure it out. Watched your video like 10 different times lol.

[@lindaolszowy6995]

Does your Explorer have heavy Duty Brakes? After mid 2013 Ford standardized on heavy duty brakes which have different hardware (clips) and larger rotors (525 mm). I know because I have a 2014 and ordered pads and rotors for standard brakes. After starting the job with the car on jack stands I had to stop everything and get the correct parts.

[@Philliprgarcia]

Don’t you have to bleed out the break fluid?

[@mooserugby]

Springs ?

[@josel64]

Great Video, Thanks a lot Bro!

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much for watching.

[@GES8215]

best part $200 brake job for $50 nice job.. i havent brought my car in for brakes in 30 years

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much for the feedback , much appreciated.

[@papabits5721]

You cleaned the dry pin ok but the bore is still caked in crap, a bore brush and some brake cleaner will flush it out.

[@mablenay]

At 5:45 - What is the greenish-looking grease you put on that bolt/pin?

[@s33therfan]

It was either my heavy duty lucas grease or my assembly lube . Seems like the caliper pin was rusted and siezed a little , and I had to work it some to get it moving properly. Thank you for watching.

[@PaulMcLove]

Super‼️ 👍😏😀

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the great feedback.

[@جبرنيالوقت-ك2ط]

How many miles do you have when changing

[@s33therfan]

This vehicle had around 190k however I am not the first owner and cannot say how many times they may have been changed prior. Thank you for watching

[@randymcd3674]

[@s33therfan]

[@TheJrm1111]
