I have a 2000 Mustang. I didn’t see anything on this video about the
emergency brake. I know it connects to the rear brakes. Is there anything
special you need for that?
I figured out an easier way to turn the piston in. Put the caliper bracket
on without the rotor on. You only have to put it on loosely. Mount the
caliper and use the caliper tool. Saves from chasing the caliper around
trying to turn the piston in.
i have a 2007 v6 mustang with the same rear caliper, the one you need to
screw in. i dont have the special tool so i used channel locks and the
piston wont go down, what should i do, people have told me to uncap the
spot where you put the brak fluid in while im doing it to relieve pressure,
should i be doing this?
Was the parking brake cable not in the way and didn’t you have to remove
that to get the caliper out? Unless i’t different on those year GT’s,
that’s the issue I ran into.
When pressing the caliper piston back into the caliper you say “We’ll turn
the handle to the left” but then you turn it right. I have read that newer
fords need to have the piston turned to the left, not the right as you are
showing. Can you correct my confusion?
I have a 2002 V6, you need to have that tool in order to screw the piston
back. You can rent one at autozone for free, also I would recommend opening
the bleeder valve it makes it a bit easier.

What if u don’t have the little anti rattle clips?
Why do you clamp the caliper hose? Does that make it so that you don’t
have to monitor the Master Cylinder level?
No reason to bleed brakes

Im working on a 98 GT, as soon as you remove the guide bolts, slide the
caliper off you gan get around that pesky parking brake cable
The point made at 9:31 needs to be stressed. Missing this will make the job
nearly impossible.
Very good video, thanks

so using channel locks is a no go?i was thinking as long as it turns it
should go down, am i wrong?
Very thorough, thank you so much!
