New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS04319
This video shows you how to install new rear brake pads and rotors from TRQ on your 2011-2019 Ford Explorer. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This repair was done on a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited 3.5L Sport Utility 4-Door AWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:

2013 Ford Explorer

Well done video, but I have one question:
What is the purpose of opening the bleeder before compressing the piston? Won't the piston compressing just force a small amount of fluid back into the master/reservoir? Seems like an unneeded step that creates a mess.
Maybe I am missing something, please help me learn if I am mistaken.
