great video, easy to follow. just finished front pads on 2004 exp 5.4 using 7mm hex bit for caliper bolts. look forward to the back brake video.

Good job guys. Very helpful. Glad you showed the spring orientation @5:10.

Thank you. I have been fighting with the front brake calipers on my 06 expedition limited. thanks for the tips.

Good video. My 07 Expedition was the same, but my current 2010 is different. No anti rattle clip and no Caliper mounting clips for the inside pads. That big anti-rattle clip on my 07 was a pain to get back on, but I didn't have to bend it. Recommend that people open the bleed valve on the caliper when compressing the caliper pistons, so that you don't push the cooked and contaminated brake fluid that is in the caliper back into the brake lines.

Use Syl-Glyde silicone grease (from your local NAPA store) to lubricate the caliper slider pins. On later model Ford Expeditions (mine is a 2010) one pad goes on the inside and the other goes on the outside, and if you mix these up, you will likely have severe problems with those pads (and the rotor) after a short time.

Nice simple to the point video, made me realize that I won't have the patience or the time to do this lol.

Just did my brakes today on my 06 Expedition XLT and it uses a 9mm hex head socket in front and 7mm in rear! Hope this helps

I was wondering what size the front was. I tried everything i had at home. Even when to autozone and they told me it was a 7mm in the front. I tried them all everything was to big or to small. I guess I tried again with the 9mm. I'm going to try a long 9mm maybe the socket one i have doesn't reach. Thanks again

@@al52269 did you try a T-45 torx bit

It was enough to help me get the job done. Thanks!

Just what I needed ... awesome video ... short and to the point ... thank you!

Thanks for the good video ! good job at showing how the springs go !!

Only one that showed how to place zero drag spring. Well done. Had to remove tires the second time to put it back. Without this video I would have to gone to a mechanic to find out.

That helped figure out that long spring bend the ends works great thank you so much

What do you do if you cant get a 7mm torx or allen key in the slide pin? Almost like the pin is recessed too deep

Well made video Explained everything thoroughly Didn't confuse the viewer ,did not over explain steps perfect video 4 tutorial well done by man

I had no idea that you could use a torx bit inside where you could also use a hex wrench.

dam those clips, hey thanks for the video

Good video, informative but quick enough.

I recommend if you want to do a proper brake job having your rotors turned to have the glade taken off so your brake pads have a fresh surface and will work much better

there's a spring that's on when i took off the old one where it goes to the caliper anyone know if it's a necessity

Just an FYI, you don't have to take out that hex bolt. Nothing bolts that bracket to the caliper, so if you don't have a Hex, just take the brack it off and slide the whole thing off the wheel and they'll pop right apart.

Will this video help with a 2013 Expedition XLT?

Thanks for the video i was having a difficult time with getting the springs back in your video made it simple

+Jeremy Alexander Awesome! Glad to help.

if one of the dual piston is slightly leas compressed than the other one maybe by like 5mm will it make even contact once i pump my brakes during normal use?

thanks man this was perfect got me through no problem

I lost the spring that goes inside the caliper,not the one on the outside at5:10,is that going to cause problems down the road?

getting ready to do my 05. wish me luck

Great video, thanks man!

03 expedition used 7mm hex on both front and rear brakes

I have a ‘97 Expedition that has a brake line leak. I have to drive it to get it fixed. Will there be any brakes at all?

Really great video. Thank you

What bit loosened the caliper guide pin? I heard T45 torx or 7mm Allen/Hex. I tried both and others but none fit. The replacement pins use 7 metric size Allen/Hex. For the brake caliper guide pins on the vehicle, a T55 torx is too small and a T60 is too big. Any ideas?

Did you put those clips on wrong? Seems to be on differently than you took them off.

where do you get the brake pads o cant find them anywhetere

Nice work, thank you.

(5:17 - 5:27) Awesome video!!!! I always watch these as a refresher! I have to say your video is by far the most on point. 💪🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯 I have a question? Where the hole comes from to insert the spring? (5:17-5:27) Is it a special bracket with a hardware kit? I bought my truck used so I'm still finding stuff every repair! Some ppl don't even use it. So, All of this time... I haven't used it either. Lol 😆 So is it necessary? What purpose does it serve?

The bending of the caliper bracket was clever! After struggling with it for 30 minutes I applied this trick and had it back on in less than 30 seconds.

Good video, but don’t press that clamp onto the new pads, use the old pad in case it breaks or cracks

My "03 uses a 7mm hex on the front. Good vid

that was beautiful thank you

Thank you. This was helpful. I'm about to attempt it on my 2007

7 mm rear. 9mm front Allen bolts

Thanks brother!!!

thanks great video

Nice video

I would have used the old brake pad to compress the caliper, not the new one. You shouldn't have to modify the anti-rattle clips.

Thanks ... I see what I did wrong. The little spring inside the caliper that hooks to pad..... Didnt do that.

Its this same on the 03 xlt

Be careful leaving the brake master cylinder cap off. Brake fluid has an a finite for moisture and can contaminate your brake fluid causing potential brake failure.

Yours was like the eighth video on this I watched it was the easiest time to stand and I learned the most. You're the only one that said anything about greasing the parts. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Literally would not have even occurred to me. To buy brake cleaner when buying brake pads.

Hey bro, it's easier to use your old brake pad and a clamp to squeeze back in those pistons.

Mine had no clip

Those clips were a pain the first time I did them!

When spraying the rotors with brake cleaner and when reassembling the brakes, the springs are not in the same position as they are when you are showing the spring removal. Which is odd unless you staged the first part of the video after completion. Look at the long arms of the spring and where they are when you show the spring removing procedure. Suggesting folks bend brake parts to put them in wrong may not be a great idea.

Did u take off bearing hub? Looks like it but u did t show

No. There is no reason to.

You forgot the brake pad clips that should have come with the pads. They keep the pads from sticking and dragging.

its a 9mm

Ford Expedition 2002 to 2006

9mm

Dude you were wrong it’s a 9 mm hex for the front and a 7 mm hex for the back on a 2005 Ford expedition

this does not help for a 2000 model.

Change the boots and pins too or you're throwing your money away.

This was a very dum way ford designed their brake system. They just had to be extra 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️
