2016 Ford Transit – How to Replace Rear Brake Pads – DIY

Just a quick video showing how to change the rear brake pads on a 2016 Ford Transit. These vans tends to wear out the rear brake pads much quicker than the front pads.
My van didn’t have the low frequency damper installed, so I added them. If you already have them installed, you can just remove the caliper bolt together with the damper.
Tools needed:
13mm wrench and/or socket
caliper wind back tool
brake grease
The torque on the caliper bolts is 23 ft lbs.

If you need to change the brake rotor, you will need to unbolt and remove the axle.
Ford recommends replacing the o-ring and the axle bolts as they are stretched when following the torque specs. (Axle bolts are 22 ft lbs plus a 90 degree turn).

Excellent video good clear information Thanks I will be changing the pads in a week or two!

TC says:

I tried the tool from autozone and it did not work as easy as yours. Do you need to bleed it as you press?

TC says:

Are the pads the same front and back or is there another part number?

Grape Jelly says:

Dan, any ideas of why the horn would not work? The fuses are good.

Hello Dan, this was an excellent one. This one appears to have the inboard pad with a dimple. I wonder if that engaged the caliper piston in one of the slots. This is one the the first videos I have seen, and believe me, I've seen many, that mention the use of the reverse threading of the piston compression tool you used. Thanks for pointing that out.
Did you notice the slide pins were different. I ask because you did not mentioned that.
BTW the way, I subscribed.
Thanks for sharing
