    If somebody had told me there is a 20 minute, 55 second video on brake pads that would keep my attention and not get boring I would have suggested they visit a psych ward. But I would have to apologize to them because this is ABSOLUTELY the best how-to video I have ever seen. I have a feeling Jon Olson could explain the federal tax code in an understandable way.

You had to learn the first time too. It will save a lot of guys a VERY large amount of money. For those of us who've done it before, it's nice to see exactly how our particular vehicle looks.

    The one major issue this video doesn't cover is the fact that 97-04 F-150 models may have different rotor assemblies. For instance, my 2000 4.6l v8 requires replacing a one piece rotor and hub assembly and the bearings, races and seals. So you may want to add that caveat, as it makes the job a tiny bit more complicated, also more expensive (though still less so than going to a mechanic).

    • @InsaneOil
      @InsaneOil  3 года назад +2

    I have the exact truck and experiencing some problems I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on.
    truck turns off while at low idle but will crank right up.
    while driving at slower speeds and up a hill when I release the gas the RPM's drop to about 500 and the dashboard lights and my headlights dim a little bit and will go back to normal once I press the gas pedal and get rpms back up.
    I also watched your video on the Amsoil throttle body cleaner. when I undo my air filter from the throttle body and crank my truck up it will run for about 2 or 3 seconds and then shut off, every time.
    at red lights or stop signs I have to put it in neutral and rev the truck up a little just to keep it running.
    the battery doesn't seem to be weak...although it is probably time to get a new one.
    I appreciate the help.

    • @InsaneOil
      @InsaneOil  6 лет назад +1

      Axle should rotate freely without brake pads installed. Once you install brake pads, check to see that they slide in the hardware. If they slide, the axle should still rotate. Reset pistons, install caliper, axle should still rotate. Set caliper...axle should rotate with light friction.

    • @dewrus2153
      @dewrus2153 6 лет назад +1

      mdh87-You've probably already replaced your caliper by now...but I'll respond in case you're still interested. When bleeding brakes, start at the corner farthest from the master cylinder, then do the next farthest and so forth. On US vehicles (and other left-drive vehicles), that usually means to do the rear right first, rear left, front right, and then front left. As a note when doing brakes, I always bleed the brakes prior to replacing the pads. If you don't, you will be pushing contaminated fluid up through ABS module when you push the pistons back in. ABS modules can cost over $1000 so it's good insurance....especially because the fluid is often the most contaminated at the caliper due to heat cycles. Hope this helps!

    Oh yeah, you forgot to clean and grease the pins. I like to clean them up and use a nice weiner grease.
