Thank you for the detailed step-by-step instructions along with clear video capture. Does the replacement of bakes make a difference for hybrid vs regular? is there any attachments to be concerned with for the Regenerative system of Ford fusion 2017 Hybrid?
thinking of changing my own breaks. this helps alot. out where i am there is no service that can service my American Ford Fusion. the American standard for repair is crazy different that it is here in Europe. (in the EU theres a special document for all eu spec cards that has all the part codes for everything, without one a mechanic will not touch the vehicle. not even an official dealer.)
70 lb/ft? I wonder if they changed the spec for newer Fusions because I find 110 lb/ft as the torque rating for all the newer gen Fusions. Thank you for the video btw. Helpful.
The guide pins are 7mm hex/Allen. If the 7mm slips it may have been rounded out from previous work. If this is the case it would be best to take to mechanic to get them removed and new ones installed.
Yes, that's what the Maddox brake tool kit is for or you can use c-clamps like old school. I prefer the brake tool as it is easier and insures the caliper goes straight.
Customer complained about vibrations and noice from a fairly new brake job. You only changed the pads and rotors. You did not clean the hub nor cleaned the caliper sliding pins? Customer will have the same problem in like 2-3 months….
Great explanation. I'm thinking of changing my brakes myself. It seems pretty straight forward. Ive done very light self maintenance on cars before, would you say this is something a novice can do without much fuss? Also, are there places that loan a tool? I dont have a piston presser or a torque bar.
I think a novice can do the work, but maybe have someone with skills double check or help. It's just a safety risk if not done correctly. Ad for loaner tools, most part stores do a loaner tool program. You actually pay for the tool when you get it, then they give full refund when you return it back. However the tool can be purchased at Harbor Freight for $39. Here is link to the one I use in video. www.harborfreight.com/disc-brake-pad-and-caliper-service-tool-kit-11-piece-63264.html
first of all, when you put in a new rotor, you need to lubricate the hub assembly to prevent burning rotor to it. so this video is a little mess for me

Yea in the US there is very little regulation for automotive repair especially if you repair your own vehicle.
