2004-2008 Ford F-150 – Brake Caliper Replacement

Glad you found the cracked piston. What a BS move on Ford for using
plastic for a critical brake component like this!

cool…been awhile since i’ve watched ya work on the ford…..i like the
body style on ford trucks so i got a 97xl v6 just because i hate spending
on gas. really dont need the power of a v8 since i was 30.
omg how do u get on ur knees? kills me. i gottas sit on my bum witch
probably worse…i have to replace my pads all the time….ceramic’s the
bestto get…they last alot longer. ya i was the last hold out….lol my
brother would do em for me and stick those cheesy pads on and laugh when he
seen me cleaning my wheels.
wished i had disc in the back….trucks never stopped right i thought.
bleeders sure come in handy
