Glad you did such a thorough job of explaining the caliper pin retainer correct installation positioning. If they go in reversed your brakes will not function correctly. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice to see a video showing all the little details of the job, good camera work and easy to follow instructions. Plus you saved your son thousands of dollars over his lifetime by teaching him how to do it. Good job!
Thank you Randy! I appreciate you watching and thanks for the nice comment. Yes, I've taught both my boys and both my girls to work on their own stuff. It's one of the things my Dad taught me and you are correct, it will save a lot of money over the years. Thanks again sir!
I've never seen pinned brakes like this and I am glad you put this video out. It answered all my questions and provided an excellent guide on how to do the job.
I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Nothing better than being a dad and teaching your kid how to diy on the truck...what a great video!!! I loved it and I learned something new about my truck I just bought.😎 Thanks!!!
I love working on things with my kids! Thank you for watching, Brandon!
Great video; we just picked up a 93 Ranger for my son, hoping to do many of the repairs ourselves. This will help us to do so!
That's great! I hope all the repairs go well. Thanks for watching, Michael!
This is the best video I've seen for this brake job and excellent camera work for once I can actually see Clearly the things that are important
Thank you for watching, Dan! I really appreciate your comments!

Very helpful video, thanks!
Thank you for watching, Steve!
Thanks man great tutorial I was sitting in my driveway confused as hell
Thanks for watching!
gracias por compartir friends..
Luis, gracias por ver mi amigo
Sure showed me how to do these brakes. Never worked with these pins before. Great video. Only thing may want to keep a check on brake reservior from over flowing or take some fluild out before squeezing piston back. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! Yes, great point! If you've had to add brake fluid, it will definitely back flow/overflow on you when you compress the calipers.
Great video show all the little tricks that make the job easy, Thanks
Thank you Mike! I appreciate you watching.
My grandson and I are doing the same thing.
Goodness thank you.
Thanks very much for watching!
Great video.
Thanks for watching!
3/8 to 1/2 drift pin right from the get go. Make easy for you.
Great idea. Thanks for watching!
Thanks !
Thank you for watching!
Very clear and well done video. I'm a retired old mechanic and have never seen these split pins before. Question: No brake grease on the back of the pads, split pins or caliper riding slots? I think I'd be inclined to use some copper grease or grease specifically made for brake components. I realize the pads come with anti-squeal plates, but still.
I agree, brake grease would not be a bad idea....certainly couldn't hurt anything. I've never had trouble with these not being greased, but....you are correct, it wouldn't hurt a thing. Thank you for watching!
Very nice job
Thank you for watching!!
Awesome job on this!
Thank you for watching, Cameron!
Great video thanks for the post. Helped me a lot.
Thanks for watching, Michael! I'm glad this helped you!
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful.
Follow Up: I just finished replacing the brakes on my '97 2WD 3.0 Ranger and I didn't have the split pin calipers (mine were 2x 1/2" bolts). This video still was helpful though. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching Nick! I'm glad the video helped and glad you got your brake job done!
Loved the video
Just what I needed
That's great and I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Thak you so much
Thank you very much for watching!
Great video. Do you grease anything?
Thanks for watching! You can put some brake lube on the caliper guides and pins. If you live where there's a lot of snow, or near saltwater, you definitely want to lube these points.
Thanks great video
Thank you Marcus! I appreciate you watching!
excellent video, you're incredible
Wow!! Thank you Jay!! I appreciate you watching and leaving such a nice comment!
Very nice job guys. I have a 94 Ford Ranger and it was brrrrgrrrr when I pressed the brakes, and I did not think I could make it home. Got home and the brakes were acting like nothing happened. I am bewildered, and now what should I do?
Thanks for watching! I'd check the rears....they are drum brakes and it sounds like maybe a spring or a keeper broke, was grinding inside the drum and then probably ground itself down or came out.
Cool video!
Thank you very much for watching!!
not sure if it's necessary but I have ALWAYS removed the brake fluid reservoir cap prior to compressing the caliper pistons as it will push the fluid back into the reservoir
Thanks for watching, John! It doesn't hurt anything to remove the cap first. There is a bladder inside the caps that take up the voided space when the fluid is low, so in that case, you can compress the caliper without removing the cap. The bladder will allow for the returning fluid. If the reservoir is full, its a good idea to remove the cap and maybe even dip out some fluid to prevent overflowing.
Hey Dennis! Could you do a video on how to take the front tire off your Honda Shadow? Love the videos! Keep them coming!
I will do my best to do that soon. Thanks very much for watching!
Thanks guys. Gonna attempt at doing mine tomorrow. Where do you put that gel that they sold me?
Thanks for watching, Nathan! On the backs of the pad where the caliper piston contacts it. And some folks put it on the caliper slides, where the caliper slides on the caliper holder. I don't like to put it there because it tends to dry up and then cause the caliper to not slide easily. I prefer just making sure the caliper slides are clean.
8 inch c clamp works much better than the pliers.
To each his own, but that's why I show both pliers and a c-clamp. Thanks for watching, Casey!
Your a good dad !
Thank you Randall!! I've been blessed with 4 really great kids!
Great video, but weren't you supposed to bleed the brakes?
Thank you for watching! Bleeding the brake lines is only necessary if you let air into the system. Since I didn't open the hydraulic brake system, no need to bleed the lines.
@@dwcoffey gotcha, thanks.
What size was your water pump pliers ??
Thanks for watching! The set in this video are 12" pliers.
What year is your truck in this vid? I just did my pads on my 1995 and they are nothing at all alike. Mine are dual piston calipers and totally different pads.
Thanks for watching, Nick! This is a 94 Ranger.
@dwcoffey dang! Wonder why the 95 and 94 are so different yet the same generation. Ohwell, great vid eitherway.
@@nickgiard8553 Yea, that's crazy they are so different. Thanks Nick!
Is this this the same process for the rear brakes as well???
No Alvin, the rear brakes on our 1994 Ranger are drum brakes. I hope to do a video soon showing how to replace the brake shoes on the rear drum brakes. Thanks for watching!
Dennis Coffey I have a 97 so the process is different?
Hi Alvin, I believe all the 1997 Rangers have drum brakes on the rear, so the process will be different from what I show in this video.
Dennis Coffey ahhh, I gotcha, well great video anyways and I like that channel lock technique. Thank you for the explanation.
