One suggestion I used this on the rear rotors. See the extra threaded hole in the rotor. I screwed in an english thread bolt. It pushed the rotor off easily. I had to tap the opposite side, but by then it was already broken free of the rust. Have not done the fronts yet but looks like the old is there also. It was very easy to do.
Hi Craig I have a 2013 Fusion titanium 2.0 I just did a swap from a 2015-17 Ford Edge front calipers with rotors swap they are dual piston and 13.6” rotors huge difference in braking all was bought from EBay new rotors $95 calipers each $40.00 less then 200 for everything would highly recommend 100% bolt on
Question? Do I need to take the cap off the brake reservoir? I noticed alot of videos show removing the cap on the ford fusion front brake pads. I usually don't and now I am confused.
I never have and haven't had any issues with doing so, you can take it off if you want it can't hurt. There is a release hole in cap to relieve pressure but if you push back slow enough it won't squirt out of cap
There are torque specs for everything but mainly I just torque the lug nuts to 100 ftlbs. The hardware for the slider bolts I don't go crazy on but the bolts for the bracket itself I give it a little extra I'd have to say about the same as the lug nuts
So, you want a video where they don't go over the parts and tools needed to do the job? I'm sorry, can't help you with that, i guess my intros will have to continue to be too long. Thanks for the comment!
Yeah they can be a pain in the ass, I think that I put the part that goes into the caliper first angle them into the back of the hole latch that little hook on the spring itself then rotate the spring towards the bracket and use a screw driver to pry them on
Wow, so out of that whole video all you picked up on was the oil on the rotors part? Ok for starters there ABSOLUTELY is a coating whether it be oil or cosmoline that they use in the packaging and shipping process to keep the rotors or drums from rusting and it's people like you that obviously haven't got a clue that get people hurt. Secondly the rotors are not nickel plated, that plating would bring the friction coefficient way down. These rotors are silver zinc plated. Do yourself a favor just buy brake clean and clean your rotors if you're doing brakes you'll be able to stop a lot better once you get that protectant off of the surface.

Yes, that works but so does a bfh and it's quicker than tapping a hole in something that you're discarding lol. Thanks for the comment
That's for the cars with the hold down screw
@@ChevyMalibu69 BIG FUCKING HAMMER! LOL 100% AGREE
Awesome! Thanks
You're welcome, glad it helped

Thanks man I'll have to look into that, next time I do front brakes I'll have to buy everything for an edge instead

Your awesome.
Thanks again!😄
Do you torque to specific poundage or just snug it up?

Is it required to put the vehicle in 'service mode' to allow these calipers to be compressed without turning?
No you can push then back in without doing that
Thanks Craig. I have 2014 fusion that needs pads and rotors.
You're welcome, glad to help
So I’m guessing hitting the breaks real hard don’t work anymore to break in the breaks lol
Lol, well technically you have to hit them pretty hard 5 times to start the process off if that helps.....thanks for the comment!
@@ChevyMalibu69 no man yo thank you for helping us even with one hand
@@ChevyMalibu69 do you have a video replacement of the back as well?
Too much intro and you don't show how to put the spring clamp on. 2 stars

That extention is way to long its easier just to put the socket straight on the bar
I'm sure there's a reason I used it, but if you don't think it's necessary don't use one.
I can’t get those fucking clips in !!! 🤬🤬
Yeah they can be a pain in the ass, I think that I put the part that goes into the caliper first angle them into the back of the hole latch that little hook on the spring itself then rotate the spring towards the bracket and use a screw driver to pry them on
@@ChevyMalibu69 thanks finally got them in but jeez them clips took most the time then the job it self
Rotors are nickel plated. No oil on them.
