This is a 2004 I'm working on but you will find a similar setup on other years. If you have any helpful comments please leave them.
The links above are from amazon and the products it takes you to are for a 2004 give or take a few years. Enter in your vehicle specs and amazon will tell you if it fits your year.
Some other items you may want are a pad spreader → amzn.to/2f6lj4G

Only one that showed how to place zero drag spring. Well done. Had to remove tires the second time to put it back. Without this video I would have to gone to a mechanic to find out.
great video, easy to follow. just finished front pads on 2004 exp 5.4 using 7mm hex bit for caliper bolts. look forward to the back brake video.
Good job guys. Very helpful. Glad you showed the spring orientation @5:10.
Nice simple to the point video, made me realize that I won't have the patience or the time to do this lol.
Thank you. I have been fighting with the front brake calipers on my 06 expedition limited. thanks for the tips.
It was enough to help me get the job done.
Thanks!
Just what I needed ... awesome video ... short and to the point ... thank you!
Good video. My 07 Expedition was the same, but my current 2010 is different. No anti rattle clip and no Caliper mounting clips for the inside pads. That big anti-rattle clip on my 07 was a pain to get back on, but I didn't have to bend it. Recommend that people open the bleed valve on the caliper when compressing the caliper pistons, so that you don't push the cooked and contaminated brake fluid that is in the caliper back into the brake lines.
Well made video Explained everything thoroughly Didn't confuse the viewer ,did not over explain steps perfect video 4 tutorial well done by man
Thanks for the good video ! good job at showing how the springs go !!
That helped figure out that long spring bend the ends works great thank you so much
Use Syl-Glyde silicone grease (from your local NAPA store) to lubricate the caliper slider pins. On later model Ford Expeditions (mine is a 2010) one pad goes on the inside and the other goes on the outside, and if you mix these up, you will likely have severe problems with those pads (and the rotor) after a short time.
Good video, informative but quick enough.
Just did my brakes today on my 06 Expedition XLT and it uses a 9mm hex head socket in front and 7mm in rear! Hope this helps
Exactly what I was going to say. Very good video
I was wondering what size the front was. I tried everything i had at home. Even when to autozone and they told me it was a 7mm in the front. I tried them all everything was to big or to small. I guess I tried again with the 9mm. I'm going to try a long 9mm maybe the socket one i have doesn't reach. Thanks again
@@al52269 did you try a T-45 torx bit
dam those clips, hey thanks for the video
The bending of the caliper bracket was clever! After struggling with it for 30 minutes I applied this trick and had it back on in less than 30 seconds.
Just an FYI, you don't have to take out that hex bolt. Nothing bolts that bracket to the caliper, so if you don't have a Hex, just take the brack it off and slide the whole thing off the wheel and they'll pop right apart.
thanks man this was perfect got me through no problem
Thanks for the video i was having a difficult time with getting the springs back in your video made it simple
+Jeremy Alexander Awesome! Glad to help.
Good video, but don’t press that clamp onto the new pads, use the old pad in case it breaks or cracks
Great video, thanks man!
I recommend if you want to do a proper brake job having your rotors turned to have the glade taken off so your brake pads have a fresh surface and will work much better
Really great video. Thank you
Yours was like the eighth video on this I watched it was the easiest time to stand and I learned the most. You're the only one that said anything about greasing the parts. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Literally would not have even occurred to me. To buy brake cleaner when buying brake pads.
getting ready to do my 05. wish me luck
Nice work, thank you.
My "03 uses a 7mm hex on the front. Good vid
I had no idea that you could use a torx bit inside where you could also use a hex wrench.
What do you do if you cant get a 7mm torx or allen key in the slide pin? Almost like the pin is recessed too deep
if one of the dual piston is slightly leas compressed than the other one maybe by like 5mm will it make even contact once i pump my brakes during normal use?
(5:17 - 5:27)
Awesome video!!!! I always watch these as a refresher! I have to say your video is by far the most on point. 💪🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯
I have a question? Where the hole comes from to insert the spring? (5:17-5:27)
Is it a special bracket with a hardware kit? I bought my truck used so I'm still finding stuff every repair! Some ppl don't even use it. So, All of this time... I haven't used it either. Lol 😆 So is it necessary? What purpose does it serve?
Thank you. This was helpful. I'm about to attempt it on my 2007
7 mm rear. 9mm front Allen bolts
Thanks brother!!!
that was beautiful thank you
03 expedition used 7mm hex on both front and rear brakes
there's a spring that's on when i took off the old one where it goes to the caliper anyone know if it's a necessity
What bit loosened the caliper guide pin? I heard T45 torx or 7mm Allen/Hex. I tried both and others but none fit. The replacement pins use 7 metric size Allen/Hex. For the brake caliper guide pins on the vehicle, a T55 torx is too small and a T60 is too big. Any ideas?
Nice video
thanks great video
Hey bro, it's easier to use your old brake pad and a clamp to squeeze back in those pistons.
Will this video help with a 2013 Expedition XLT?
I lost the spring that goes inside the caliper,not the one on the outside at5:10,is that going to cause problems down the road?
I have a ‘97 Expedition that has a brake line leak. I have to drive it to get it fixed. Will there be any brakes at all?
I would have used the old brake pad to compress the caliper, not the new one. You shouldn't have to modify the anti-rattle clips.
where do you get the brake pads o cant find them anywhetere
Did you put those clips on wrong? Seems to be on differently than you took them off.
Be careful leaving the brake master cylinder cap off. Brake fluid has an a finite for moisture and can contaminate your brake fluid causing potential brake failure.
Thanks ... I see what I did wrong. The little spring inside the caliper that hooks to pad..... Didnt do that.
Those clips were a pain the first time I did them!
When spraying the rotors with brake cleaner and when reassembling the brakes, the springs are not in the same position as they are when you are showing the spring removal. Which is odd unless you staged the first part of the video after completion. Look at the long arms of the spring and where they are when you show the spring removing procedure. Suggesting folks bend brake parts to put them in wrong may not be a great idea.
Its this same on the 03 xlt
Ford Expedition 2002 to 2006
Mine had no clip
Dude you were wrong it’s a 9 mm hex for the front and a 7 mm hex for the back on a 2005 Ford expedition
You forgot the brake pad clips that should have come with the pads. They keep the pads from sticking and dragging.
Did u take off bearing hub? Looks like it but u did t show
No. There is no reason to.
its a 9mm
9mm
Change the boots and pins too or you're throwing your money away.
this does not help for a 2000 model.
This was a very dum way ford designed their brake system. They just had to be extra 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
