Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto, we've been selling auto parts for over 30 years. What's up guys, I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today I'm gonna show you how to install these brakes on this 2011 Ford Explorer. If you need these parts or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1AAuto.com.
We're gonna loosen the lug nuts up. I'm just gonna use a 19mm socket and a breaker bar. I'm just gonna crack them free. Now we're gonna raise and support the vehicle. We're using a two post lift. You're doing this at your house, you can use a jack and jack stands. Remove the lug nuts. Once those lug nuts are off, take the tire off.
Okay, next we're gonna take these two bolts out. We're gonna use a 17mm wrench. Loosen these bolts up, they're on there a little bit tight. You could use a socket and a ratchet.
Next I'm gonna take a straight blade screwdriver. I'm just gonna pry this out a little bit, compress the caliper just a little bit, and then pull the caliper out. And then we're going to use a bungee cord and tie it up up top, wrap around the spring and do this so that the that we don't just let the caliper hang, and that could damage the hose.
And at this point we can take these brake pads out. There is these little springs, oops, these springs will come up with the brake pads. It's a good idea to change these, but if they're in good shape, you can reuse them. Take the inside brake pad out, just use a screwdriver to help guide it out.
I'm gonna take an 18mm socket and a breaker bar, and I'm gonna take these two bolts out that hold the caliper bracket on. These are on there pretty tight.
Once I break those free, then I can use an 18mm socket and a ratchet and loosen these up all the way. Bolts up there is some thread Locker on these bolts, you can either add some thread Locker or get some new bolts. Take this bracket out, now it can remove the rotor. Just pull it straight out, if it was stuck on there you can take a hammer and just hammer on on the rotor and get it off if it's rusted on there.
Here's our old brakes, here's our new brakes from 1A Auto. As you can see the pads are the same shape, the same size, pad materials the same. If you look at the rotor, rotors are the same height, they have the same cooling fins in the middle. Get yours at 1AAuto.com and you'll be ready to rock and roll.
Now we're gonna clean this hub up before we put the rotor back on. I'm just gonna use a wire brush, clean all around the hub.
All right, we're gonna clean up the caliper bracket. I'm gonna start by taking these caliper slide pins out, spray it down with a little brake cleaner, brake parts cleaner, and wipe it down with a rag, and spray a little brake parts cleaner in here, clean that out with the rag. I'm gonna take a little brake caliper grease down the slide pin and reinstall it into the bracket, and we'll do the same for the other side.
Now we're gonna clean up the pad clips. We'll take a wire brush, clean this up, take a screwdriver, just take these pad clips off. Try underneath here, pop it up and we'll clean underneath there, get some of this rust out, it's a little dirty underneath here. We can clean the backsides of these, reinstall the clips, will do the same for the other side.
We're install this brake rotor backwards first, I'm gonna spray this down with brake clean, brake parts cleaner, and we'll wipe it down with a rag. There is a protective coating on these rotors so that they don't rust. Flip it back over, you're gonna want to line up this hole with that screw hole there. Our vehicle didn't have a screw in but yours may, and will spray this down with brake parts cleaner and wipe it down on the rag.
Next we're going to take a lug nut, because I don't have that screw there, I'm just gonna screw this lug nut down so that I'll hold my rotor on there better.
Now install this brake caliper bracket, these bolts, it's recommended that you replace these bolts, we're gonna reuse ours. Now with those two bolts tightened up, we're gonna torque these to 111 foot-pounds, use my 18mm socket and a torque wrench.
Those are good and tight. Next we'll install the brake pads. We're just gonna take a little bit of caliper grease, put it on where the pads will sit in the bracket, and carefully, you don't want to get any grease on the pad material itself, slide it into the bracket. Do the same with the inside one.
And we're gonna take the brake caliper off, the bungee, or the bungee off the brake caliper, flip it over. I'm gonna take one of the old brake pads, slide it in here, and I'm gonna use this brake caliper compressing cool, it's made for one piston caliper, this is obviously a two piston caliper, but with the brake pad there I can go back and forth slowly and just compress both the pistons. We actually sell these tools at 1AAuto.com.
So we're just gonna compress this slowly. As we're compressing this, fluid's coming out of the caliper, going through the hose, through the pipes, up to the master cylinder and into the reservoir. And it's a good idea to check the fluid level after you're done to make sure that it's at the proper level and adjust when needed.
We'll just go back and forth, just compress it a little bit. That's fully compressed. Pull that brake pad away. Make sure these dust boots didn't get folded or anything. If you go slowing up, generally they go down properly and they look good.
Now I'll take the caliper, another thing you want to make sure, you never want to let the caliper hang from the hose cuz it could damage the hose. Slide the caliper over the bracket and the brake pads, get that into position. All this caliper bolt and the top caliper bolt. I'll take a 17mm socket and a ratchet, snug these down, then I can torque these with the torque wrench, 253 foot-pounds.
Next we're gonna install these pads springs. It's recommended that you replace these when you do this job. You can put these on before you put the caliper on, but sometimes they spread the pads out and get a hold the pads, so I decided to do it after, which it might be a little bit tricky to do it after, so whatever you guys want to do, if you wanna do it before or after, there. Push that, there, there's some little holes in the caliper pad themselves, this basically just pushes the pads out when the caliper is released, and do the same for the top one.
Reinstall the tire, put the lug nuts on and lower the vehicle. Now we're gonna torque these lug nuts to a hundred foot-pounds. We're gonna use a torque wrench, and we're gonna torque them in the star pattern. The reason you do it in a star pattern is so that the wheel gets tightened down properly against the rotor and evenly.
And go around again just to double-check, make sure you got them all good to go.
