In this video I show you how I service and replace the rear brake pads and rotors on a Lincoln MKX, which is a rebadged Ford Edge.
I show one side, the other side is the same just a mirror image.
The exact vehicle is a 2013 Lincoln MKX.

I'm concerned with the anti seize getting on the brake drum surface. If you put it in surfaces not near it, that's one thing but near it…I don't know if I'd use it there.
Omg, thank you! This video helped us do the rear brakes on my 2013 Edge. Best video by far!
great job this guy takes pride in what he does
What I don’t like is that the break pads don’t touch the entire rotor surface and wear differently then the front rotors do
What if that dampener thing stripped? And the Torx inside the dampener is corroded due to salt from the winter! My torx bit couldn’t grab it and my 13mm wrench couldn’t grip the dampener. What would be resolution
Great video everything that needs to be shown is here THANKS.
Does the front brake pads installation work the similar way?
Did it take you 40 mins per side?
Can you hear me? I love the job you did along with what appears to be a professional edit of all your work. We work very similar but you showed me something I did not know about before, had to do a search and so lucky I found what you did. That task for me would be twisting a caliper piston back in rather than tools I don't know what to do with any long.
Your positive persistence in showing what, how and why is what separates you and places you in the ranks of the very best. I thank you, subscribed and look forward to more of your efforts. Regards. Sonny (CT)
What did you use to clean up the front brake hub full of rust? Wire brush? Chemical of sorts? Great vid!
NEVER LEAVE THE BRAKE FLUID CAP OFF OF A VEHICLE!! BRAKE FLUID IS HYDROSCOPIC. GOOGLE THE WORD HYDROSCOPIC IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAN READ THE BACK OF YOUR BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID.
i appreciate your video, it convinces me to try to do it myself. the problem for me is I have a ford edge 2016 which is different design caliper from this video. it still has some life left probably a year until I will replace it. so if you have a chance to do the rear brake on edge 2016 please make a quick video also. or if you have some website resources relate to this model that would be great. thank you!
Damn! The line wrench doesn’t fit in
What’s the name of that tool you use to clean the studs
This is without a doubt, the best video I have ever watched. The picture was very clear, and the presentation was very detailed, with the sequence easy to follow. I can't say enough, about the content and the ability of Big Dog's work ethic and video. I appreciate your work, thanks for a great 40+ minutes, well worth my time.
Thanks for the very helpful video!!! Would be possible some advise about the e brake adjustment, very limited braking with the pedal all the way down.
Unbelievably helpful and thorough! Great job!
You didnt have to remove parking brake cable? And no need to put rotor screw back on.
Completed the rear brakes on my 13 MKX tonight. It's a reasonably easy job as described by Big Dog50001, unless you run into a fastener problem. Initially couldn't break the T40 torx screw holding on the rotor. Fortunately my neighbor works as a mechanic on fork lifts and had a special tool that in concert with a small sledge hammer broke the bolt loose. My cordless impact wrench wasn't powerful enough.
Second problem I faced was with the right side anti-vibration/dampner bolt that fastens on the lower part of the caliper bracket/slider assembly. It would not come off using the 13 mm box wrench. To get it off, I had to unscrew the Dampner (it took some effort) with some large pliers and then used a hacksaw to cut off the extension piece to allow me to get a special socket on the end of the damaged/stripped bolt head at the Caliper bracket. NOTE: There is nothing on the end of the bolt that the dampner attaches to use to help turn the bolt (i took the plastic cover off to check). I heated it up first, then put the socket on and with some leverage on the ratchet handle, broke the bolt free. If you live in an area that has salt applied to the roads in the winter, beware and remember to use some anti-seize to avoid having the bolts get stuck from corrosion. Would recommend pre-purchasing the Ford caliper pin/bolt kit to have on hand in case you need it.
Hey thanks for the video, heads up everyone if that sound vibration silencer doesn't wanna come off or start stripping the use a 15 size wrench on the slider pin bolt. Good luck and save money fellow brothers.
Thx! Had to weld up a washer with nipples to a socket for my compression tool, but it's nice to have a good video to follow along with. Godspeed.
Thanks for taking the time. Very helpful
Just looked up THOROUGH in the Websters Dictionary …… and your name popped up! lol GREAT VIDEO!!!
Very thorough work. I was able to do my 2015 Edge Titanium w/this video. Thanks for the video.
Like others have said, well done! Very informative. I had wondered about the rears on my 13 MKX and now will be equipped with the right tools and info. to tackle the job and save some bucks on what no doubt would be a bunch of money to have a shop do it. Thanks!
Hahahahahah. You had over 60% pads left. STEALERSHIP again. Hate them. We are fortunate to work on our own cars, lucky. For those who rely on dealers, they are getting milked almost 100% of the time.
