4:57 Grease underneath the tabs keeps rust down to reduce the chance of "rust jacking" which is how rust puffs up and can squeeze the hardware towards the pad making the pad stick. That little bit of grease on the ears of the pad backing plate (that everyone applies) can't last more than a few weeks in the rain, those stainless sliders alone do a good job of keeping the ears moving.
Thanks for this video, very helpful. Do you know does this apply to all Lincoln vehicles in the same year range? Specifically I have a 2016 MKC that needs brakes, is it pretty much the same setup?
The biggest help I got from this video was the type of tool to use for screw style caliper pistons. As much as I hate screw pistons that type of tool would have made the job much easier.
While I generally knew what to expect on the front axle, I still found your video on it helpful. Thanks for making both of these and doing what you do.

I borrowed the tool to screw the piston back in from Autozone for free. Had a 2007 Mustang that had the same kind of rear pistons.
Jay-you never showed lining up the tab on outside of the inside brake pad onto one of the tabs of the piston. Wouldn't that cause them to wear uneven?
What about the electronic parking brake?
You spend 25 minutes show how to put break grease on and Never show how much trouble you have putting on the inside pad.

They said that about my front breaks and i ended up using a c clamp
