Best brake video for a Fox PERIOD! Every other one is full of bad information.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks man, I'm glad if it can help anyone.

[@ashleydubbeld9236]

My dad taught me how to pack the bearings like Matt was showing by hand I never seen packing tool like this before 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@GearHead704]

That's awesome! Matt had me use the tool for the first time I did it LOL

[@dntlss]

Man, for someone that will change the races on a new rotor,turn them, clean the caliper bolts and add loctite, that caliper hanging by the hose is quite the surprise fora old hand,you know better than that,lol, excellent video though as always,always enjoy them.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, always room for improvements for sure.

[@jpp9846]

I definitely was taught the old school way to repack the bearings, that plunger tool is nifty...didn't know about it. And Matt did a couple extra things with lubing the caliper pins and using lock tight....never did that. SO! I learned something 👍

[@GearHead704]

That's great to hear you learned something J PP as I know you're very knowledgeable on these things. I used the plunger when I did the brakes on tarheelfox and it was quite easy although messy.

[@Foxedup]

Helpful! I haven’t installed new bearings or packed them before, so I’ll be sure to do that when I install mine soon. Back when I was a teenager I would reuse that cotter pin over and over without even thinking about it!

[@GearHead704]

oh man! I'm glad you survived your teenage years LOL

[@Joe-zt2us]

These last two videos are done extremely well.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, they were quite different, but hope it helps some people.

[@fotiii1]

Another great video in the books, the details are the key. Thanks to y’all for doing these.👊🦊

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Frank, just wanted to try and get Matt's knowledge out there.

[@dennismcpeek9630]

Thanks for part 2!! So much a needed lesson for my brain!! Love the HOW TO videos!!

[@GearHead704]

Glad it helped! They don't do well on views so I finally stopped making them.

[@eliseolopez6283]

Excellent information Matt. Very detailed 👌. Great video!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, we should be getting back to the more normal material this week.

[@stangcbr1]

This guy is solid!! Great job!! Love the attention to detail.

[@GearHead704]

Matt knows his stuff for sure.

[@mji387]

Good video... Always nice to see someone else's way to do things.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks a lot buddy👍. I know it's all old hat for you LOL

[@Hanson3]

Excellent Video! Doing both my Mustangs this weekend.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks and Good luck!

[@rr122608]

Matt is awesome!!!

[@GearHead704]

He really is. I'm so glad I met him as he's taught me so much about mechanics.

[@rr122608]

@@GearHead704 he is teaching all of us. Keep your great videos coming! 👍🏼

[@PaulDaFox]

Excellent second video and follow-up to Part 1. I really like that he showed the old school way of packing the bearings - that’s the only way know Lol✊🏼🏁

[@GearHead704]

Thanks, we were asked to put these out, so tried to do a good job with the coverage. A year ago I knew neither way LOL

[@PaulDaFox]

@@GearHead704 These were top ‘notch’ videos and an excellent reference! 👍🏼

Great video, doing this job this weekend!

Thanks and Good luck!

Nice video Matt!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks a lot Frank!

[@lustysonfire2894]

Matt’s rocking that classic GI Joe T-shirt......

[@GearHead704]

Yup 100% 👊. Gotta love GI Joe.

[@VidTubeWatch]

Very well done how to on part two as well. This guy...(wait for it) knows a stang or two. LOL

[@GearHead704]

🤣 classic Dad Joke! I've got one of those in my latest video I just put up.

[@VidTubeWatch]

@@GearHead704 I will definitely check out the latest video. Good old dad jokes. My daughter doesn't laugh at my dad jokes much anymore. LOL.

[@dapetik]

Thank you

[@GearHead704]

I'm glad it helped

[@NoFox_Given]

Another big advantage to SN95 brakes... no more bearings to pack 😂

[@GearHead704]

I'm really looking forward to doing the brake swap on my SSP.

[@NoFox_Given]

@@GearHead704 I put 03/04 Cobra brakes on the front and 95 GT on the back. Pretty easy swap with the correct parts.

[@MicahTruman]

This video was so helpful for me doing brakes for the first time on my 88 5.0! I’m still having trouble putting the pads and caliper back on the rotor it seems like it is to big now an I can’t get it to slide on! Any tips would be appreciated thanks you!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@GearHead704]

I'm not sure, but it almost makes me thing something might be wrong with the caliper. You could take a look at this video to see if it might help any. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp2TZHWjpcd4g6c

[@MicahTruman]

@@GearHead704 thank you so much!

[@nathantuck2257]

Every foxbody owner needs to watch this.

We hope it helps them if they need it.

[@JayC-nr1mp]

Here 2nd champ

[@GearHead704]

Jay C! Nice 2nd man!

[@996TwinTurbo911]

Excellent video, thumbs up from me. Anybody run ceramic pads on their fox ? If so, what brand did you go with and do you like them?

[@GearHead704]

Thanks! I've never run Ceramic.

[@clinton867]

I'm doing my brakes today

[@GearHead704]

Good luck.

[@clinton867]

What do ya know! It's just as you and the good Doc said . I used the Red lock tight.

[@johngriffith9598]

What about "bedding" the new pads? Seems to be a lot of opinions there.

[@GearHead704]

It didn't come up. Perhaps Matt and I will cover this topic in a future video.

[@dntlss]

I know this is all old comment but it might help someone out,best way to bed any pads is just to drive the car for the first few miles normally, no panic stops, just get them good and warm and thats it, been doing it that way for decades from a Corvette to a Subaru, people try to make that a big deal when it isn't,i have seen some newer super expensive cars doing these crazy stops and pulling on the emergency brake when bedding pads then they wonder why they need new pads at 10 thousand miles,lol But you are right, same with packing bearings,you could have a degree from Harvard packing bearings and someone will tell you you are doing it wrong,nothing to it, just make sure that bearing is packed good any way you wanna do it,the way Matt does it here is perfect, i have installed wheel bearings on 50 thousand pound forklifts, never had a problem.

[@kenchristensen1244]

The grease makes your hand skin soft....for us old bastards that don't have gloves, hehe

[@GearHead704]

🤣

[@droogii1142]

It's all in the small details. Wax on, wax off.

[@GearHead704]

[@Yorchreload3d]

Todo iba bien hasta que veo 9:45 como dejas el caliper guindando con todo su peso sobre la manguera 😩😩😫😫😭

[@kenchristensen1244]

Brakes are so ridiculously marginal on a Fox....gotta do everything right and they are still total shit.

[@GearHead704]

I think for the original 225 horsepower they are decent, but yeah when you start upgrading all these horses you get up to speed quicker and need to slow down a lot quicker too.

[@kenchristensen1244]

@@GearHead704 it's one hard braking event from 100+ to warp city, particularly on heavier weight cars. My stripper coupe? Semi OK...a convertible GT with power everything...I dunno. We wasted lots of these cars brakes back in the 90s :)
