FYI, from the repair manual "9. NOTE: For vehicles equipped with 4 or 6 piston brake calipers, bleed the inner bleeder screw first, followed by the outer bleeder screw."

Yes, thanks for the tip. I have been doing it that was for awhile. I did it many times the other way. No noticeable difference.

"out of all the insanity this car has at the track, the brakes are at the absolute top". - I said the same thing about my GT350 in 2018. Great clip!

Love your video's! very informative! Thnx for doing them. Also Wanted to ask what drive on ramps are you using? i see them on the floor. I'm looking for some ramps that the 500 can drive up onto. LOL.

What a great video!! Thank you. I have the same issue with my S550 GT regarding the caliper paint. I bought some Orange aerosol "Caliper Paint" and it's junk. Just like you have experienced, it is instantly eaten by brake fluid and the brake dust sticks to the paint like shit to a blanket. I found soap and water got it off.

Before you pull any lines, push the brake pedal down. It will close off the ports in the MC and not allow the brake fluid drip and you won’t need those little baggies on the brake lines.

@@ShelbyFlyer I should have gone into more detail. You have to KEEP the pedal pushed down. I usually use a 1/2 extension against the seat and use the power seat to push the pedal down. Keep an eye on your battery as the brake lights will be on.

Pipe cleaner might help get the fluid out of bleeder also.

Great video, I really like the yellow contrast. Is the lettering on the calipers carbon fiber track pack?

@ShelbyFlyer

Thanks Gregg! Yes, the letters are for Carbon Fiber Track Pack. I have the same on my side stripes and floor mats.

Have you ever considered surface transforms Carbon Ceramics they are reasonably priced and you can resurface them like steel rotors.

Hey Tim, what size bolt did you use to clean the old thread locker out? Thanks

@ShelbyFlyer

Жыл бұрын

I don’t recall. I believe it was listed in the instructions from Caliperfexion. Remove one of the caliper bolts and take it to a hardware store… find a nut that goes on it and you’ve found your size. I used a Dremmel and cut channels lengthwise in the threads that worked well for cleaning out the holes.

Can you please recommend where I can get front and rear break pads for my 2021 Ford GT500 Shelby

Those aren’t the bolts (on the front). The caliper bolts are on the backside.

hey Tim, Hows ya? Superior Vid! I still got my '08 25K trying to get up the nerve to put a NTO from a '13 supercharger and the billet canyon feeder manifold and a 2" plus a little pulley, my wife bought me a new to me "19 AMG c63s biturbo v8, my acura sh-awd, and my mercedes take my shelby out of a dig and the tech is oh my my my, oddly on the Mercedes has the same size drilled Brembo all the corners. Its metallic snow white a really cushy hotrod, 10 sp auto with modes for the shocks and nannies turn off. I think the acura will take them both from a dig and the fancy honda is a complete joy on good twisties. hope your well. maybe we will cross on the roads somewhere. look it up the C63s is total blast to drive, akebono pads are the great pad secret. bedding is really not that magic, done plenty and they last the same/ my EBC work fine on drilled and slotted brembo rotors. later kevin

The front rotors are 388$ each from Motorcraft. Not too bad. I would just buy new rotors rather than resurfacing.

@ShelbyFlyer

Depends on how much material has to be removed to make the rotor true again. In my case, not much was needed to be removed. I’ve hit the track multiple times with the rotors since without drama.
