Traded In With No Parking Brake - Ford F150 Complete Parking Brake Assembly

[@BeardedFordTech]

"I'm sorry you should not be working on your own vehicle" classic line. Great video. I had to tell someone something like that today. They want me to come.fix their vehicle for free. I tried telling them I don't work for free and how did you diagnose it? They said the parts store told me that's what it was. I said well have them fix it. I get tired of that. But like I said .great video. I didn't even know we can get park brake assembly for those. Good to know.

[@csinalabama]

The most impressive thing about this video to me is that the dealership sent it through the shop to be checked out and fixed. There are so many complaints of people buying used cars and trucks and the dealer says they do a 100 point check, but in fact all they did was a detail. Kudos to your dealership.

[@FordBossMe]

We check all cars and perform repairs if not it goes to auction

[@FordBossMe]

Or we give the customer the option to take it as is if it has not made it through the shop yet

[@eastwoodrmc1995]

Kudos to the dealership for fixing it. Most dealers in this area would wholesale it or send it to auction.

[@FordBossMe]

We won't do that here, everything gets fixed right

[@firstlast---]

Wow a pre loaded assembly that's great. Neat trick with the hose clamp pliers I'll remember that

[@ae111black]

Haha that happened to me, customer put the wrong caliper on his 4Runner and was wondering why it wasn’t breaking well. Anyway I called the parts house to get the right caliper and it was the passenger side in the box. The box was returned from another shop and it wasn’t noted that it was the wrong part. Just returned and put back.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Rich nice to know about this problem has a easier replacement. Thanks for sharing stay safe.

[@jeffclark5024]

That’s nice it’s all put together for ya already. I can hear my customers now though “ can’t you just put shoes on it” yeah but for the long haul thats definitely the way to go

[@mlieser1230]

This video reminds me of the Ford "vanity" license plate with the lightbulb and caption "Ford Has A Better Idea". A pre-loaded parking brake assembly is just what is needed in the rust belt. Ford also thought to provide a convenient access point for adjustment. I remember Eric O remarking once about an inaccessible parking brake adjustment on a particular make of vehicle when he was removing brake rotors.

[@jamesplotkin4674]

Noticed the faint "R" in red written on the box. So damn nice the prior handler to make this obvious to the next guy that this is actually for the passenger side!

[@kennethrobinson5151]

I think c-clip is the word you are looking for Rich when you referred to the axle pin LOL I'm just busting you dude you're an awesome mechanic

[@alb12345672]

I went thru this on my 11 6.2 All ford parts,cables ,etc. They sold it as an 'as is trade in' real cheap. I wish I knew about that assembly. It is not expensive. I ended up reconditioning what was there. You still have to pull the axles though. You have no choice b/c the activation latches are missing. I replaced both cables. The passenger was frozen, broken, like yours, driver, marginal. I am telling you though the actuator latch mechanism that the cable attaches to will rust and seize. I wirewheeled and painted the old ones and coated with molly brake grease. I went nuts and also replaced all the rubber lines. Had to heat the flare nuts and turn the lines. One of them locked up a caliper, made a smoke show. Not really expensive if you DIY.

[@jasonheimlich6506]

I have seen more box pilfering the last two years during these parts shortages than ever before .

[@mikemcclune1440]

Did the same job on my 2001 Silverado because the backing plates were rotted out, also changed rear cables and new seals

[@f2cmadmaxx]

Very busy man indeed, love the instructional videos - i would bet the incorrectly packaged assembly is for a 2011, i believe they are different to the 12-14 models for some reason.

[@FordBossMe]

Ok now you can remove this

[@negan454ss]

I had to buy those for my 2010 raptor. But for a 2012 f150 because of big brake kit alcon brand. 2010 have diffrent size and parking brake setup . Good thing I read instruction before hand.

[@famousj6]

Here's a new take on a sentence in this video: Gentlemen, save your nut hardware. Check for testicular cancer.

[@jeffsmith7568]

IN 2015 had a 2014 f250 come in for a yearly inspection, behind the rotor all the parts where there, the lining fell off backing plate rotted to nothing and the other bits where gone. It had 24000 km on it. So sad.

[@achap3604]

You are the man thank u for teaching us

[@bobimbordino3024]

Great video. I’m always learning but lack the confidence to touch my vehicles

[@sinclabr]

Seem to be a crappy E-Brake setup, at least in the rust belt here. My 2016 F150 only had 2 winters on it from new, E-Brake shoe lining delaminated, actually jammed up in the drum on the back of the rear disc and locked up my rear wheel. Luckily I was just going slow at the time.

[@deansapp4635]

That kit is a great idea

[@weshawkins7165]

Probably left if apart because those E brake systems don’t work worth a crap. I hate working on them. I’m glad my 2016 Explorer has the E brake in the caliper.

[@William-13]

Hey Rich, would you mind making a video dedicated to the oil filter brands you have found that are known to have the "thread end" bypass valves famously found on the motorcraft oil filters? I know Wix XP used to have thread end bypass but I think they discontinued that. Whipcity has opened some Royal purple oil filters with thread end bypass, but they are less impressive in their micron rating than excellent oil filters like the Fram Ultra or the Purolator boss and are nearly a $20 filter. (I switched over to Fram Ultra Synthetic after watching you and Whipcity's videos.) Your oil filter videos have saved me hundreds of dollars in Auto parts. It's getting harder to find motorcraft oil filters for a reasonable price due to the shortages but I prefer motorcraft when I can't find premium oil filters instock to purchase since they are more high quality than most filters in their price range and due to being purolator, have also kept my engine quite clean(according to Blackstone labs) Thanks again Rich.

[@FordBossMe]

[@JaySosaNY]

The parking break was probably seized to the rotor I see this all the time my market manager attempted to help me do a wheel bearing one time and destroyed the backing plate there was nothing left to mount it back to and he said it would be fine they left it for the night and I made our regular manager order the parts to fix it the next day I hate when the market manager comes to “help” he always messes something up

[@Garth2011]

Time to holler at your parts guys !

[@beaverc2884]

WHY WHY WHY. if it's packaged wrong don't just throw back on the shelf, send it back right away or if it's a part you know will be used, properly mark the packaging then put it on the shelf. I don't even want to know what the lack of reasoning was to completely remove the parking brake assembly. You are correct some people should not be allowed to work on their own cars. 😡😡

[@jamesophel6343]

Chris, look at the latest video on running an engine with rubber piston rings. It tends to confirm my suspicion that car makers are happy to use engine oil is seen as a valid fuel instead of petrol or diesel. Leaks can be kept in or hidden, stinks and smoke can be controlled with conventional pollution control gear as they are supposed to be now and the official fuel consumption figures look good because the engine would now use less fuel because it is burning lubricant instead of official fuel . The engine won't care as long as it burns and makes heat and the makers achieve the mandated consumption figurus which makes the regulators happy. I think this is worth loking into. The Russians never seemed to mind a bit of smoke and smell but after the fuel shocks the the Americans took fuel useage and pollution very seriously in some places with some weird work arounds to address some of the issues. This could explain some of the very complex fuel and emission systems in existence out there now. I suspect a large amount of money could be saved by going back to sound, basic engineering practice. Let me know what you think. I think you have my return address and I will skim the comments to see if you or anybody else has something to say on the subject. It might be fun to watch.

[@RJ_Cormac]

Welcome to the rust belt Midwest. My Dad had his explorer emergency brake gutted instead of replacing it, everything rusts and never unlocks up here.

[@alb12345672]

Won't pass inspection NY. They really check the brake holds when you hit the gas. These mechanisms are very prone to rust. Probably has to be serviced every 3 years or so to keep it working well. I got an 11 F150 and the mechanism was welded solid :lol: I needed MAPP gas and cold water to seperate things.

[@JohnDiMartino]

The biggest problem is that they don’t get used regularly. Automatic trucks they rarely get used. I use mine and never have issues with them.

[@alb12345672]

@@JohnDiMartino For all the effort that went into mine, it gets used every day now. Put it in N and make sure it engages before putting in P. I also park on a slope, not going to risk a parking pawl and a trans rebuild.

[@RJ_Cormac]

@@alb12345672 I didn't say New York, we don't have inspections in most of the Midwest, and it's expensive to replace the entire system and cables every few years. When it's not used by the owner, it gets removed as rust weight reduction.

[@alb12345672]

@@RJ_Cormac Agreed. Even if you use it has wear and tear. Cables stretch, shoes get rusty, need labor, etc. It stops holding. It is worth something I guess if brakes totally fail, not very likely today but not impossible. Some systems have them integrated into the rear calipers.

All I can say to this 1 is unbelievable

Thank you again. Very interesting. Wouldnt pass in VA, they check the parking brake when pulling into the stall. Are the newer electric brakes harder to install?

[@mick5740]

When adjust parking brake drag tryjbg to spin a wheel the whole differential spins and wheel dont spin without full force ! And that’s not spin more like it inches around. How to spin and check for drag on that heavy ass wheel ? Am I missing something? Im in park rear end up in the air

[@duanefroelicher1613]

This sucks, I have a 2010 Ford f150 and having the same problem and can not find the parts. They are discontinued. I understand why the previous owner disassembled everything. Who sells the complete assembly???

[@stevenabbott6471]

Rich I know it's Saturday morning so no answer till Monday but what do you do when the 8 millimeter bolt that holds the axle pin in breaks off

[@FordBossMe]

Drill and extractor

[@hungryjack8032]

so is that assembly actually a real ford part or just dorman with a ford sticker?

[@FordBossMe]

This question is ridiculous

[@hungryjack8032]

@@FordBossMe work outside of a dealership and buy multiple brands of parts and it becomes very plausible question. Dorman has the largest selection of these types of parts across all makes.

[@abw121]

No complaints with the content but have a big question? Did you replace the axle seals after pulling the shafts out? After all that work the weak link would be the seals leaking on the new parking brakes? Enjoy your channel and I pick up great knowledge from your personal ride work along with your shop work. Thank you

[@FordBossMe]

Albert I've been doing this long enough if I make a decision on not replacing axle seals it's the decision of me not replacing the axle seals 99.9% of the time you're wrong that is not the weak link they are just fine there's not a lot of pressure on them there's not a lot of heat on them as long as the axle shaft itself doesn't have a bunch of rusting and scoring there's no reason to replace them

[@buixrule]

I wish I could find a "clear" video of someone removing an axle. I mean I saw the pin and the spider gears but not the actual removal process. To someone who's done it before it's probably obvious but to someone who hasn't you're left scratching your head.

[@FordBossMe]

Bro it's not that complicated you pull the back cover off the differential You spin the axles around until the pink can slide out easily once the pin slides out you can pull the C Clips off of the end of the axle so you just push the axles in a little bit the clip pulls right out and then you can slide the axles out but before you slide the axles out you get to take the rotors and everything off it ain't that complicated

[@buixrule]

The question is why did they just remove it? Was the parking brake stuck and they just decided to remove it than to pay someone to fix it. Guess we'll never know.

[@FordBossMe]

They had the cables hooked up wrong and I think the parking brake was completely just wore out and trashed so they just disabled it I had to put everything back the way it goes and readjust everything and lubricate the cables

Hey rich. Guy on the Bronco6G forums said he’s been waiting on his ordered truck for two years now and it’s arrived but your GM wants to mark it up $7k over sticker even though he had been promised multiple times it would be at MSRP. Does that sound like your sales department? “Dundee Ford in Duendee IL. The guys name is Michael Medina he’s the gm.” “When I placed my order reservation last year I spoke on the phone and in person with the manager there and he assured me that he wouldn’t do any MARKUPS on my bronco if I ordered through them. (He wasn’t going to play those bullshit games other dealers were playing on bronco order holders). Would not give me a contract agreement because he said the dealer wasn’t doing them. After I repeatedly asked him for one on multiple occasions. All he did was signed the bronco order form and had me signed as well. Stating that I wasn’t going to pay any Markups at the time of purchase. I was going to pay msrp iWell it turns out that on the phone and when I went in there this week to pickup my bronco he did do a Markup of $7,400.”

Pull C clip? Had volume low maybe you said C clip

So once you pull the big pin out of the center of the differential you can slide the axles in and there's a c clip that you can pop out from the end of the axle and then pull them out of the end of the tube Yeah I said I wouldn't be really answering questions after 6:30 anymore so I'm trying to stay off of here man weekends and then later in the evening
