im changing the brake pads on my 1991 f150 fwd and i just wanted some input from you guys. it seems like a fairly simple task but of course, i dont want to mess up on such an important system lol. any input is appreciated, thanks

 

Remember to take the cap off the master cylinder reservoir before you use a clamp to push the piston back into the caliper. I also like to remove a little bit of the brake fluid, using a paper towel, because when you push the piston back, it will cause the fluid level in the reservoir to rise slightly.

Also, use the brake quiet spray on the back of the pads to keep them from making so much noise.

Good luck.

 

do one side at a time if your not familiar with the truck, that way you can look and see how it goes back together. and if your going to do the rear drums, spring for the new spring kit and a self adjuster kit, it'll be about 15-20 bucks more, but it will be worth it if you break one while your tearing it down then have to drive back anyways.

**** AND DONT LET THE CALIPER HANG BUT THE BRAKE LINE**** i was in a shop one time for a state inspection and i seen that told the guy about it and he shrugged it off and i told them to stop the inspection on my truck they dont know the right way to work on something they are not going to inspect it. But i actually like to know whats wrong with my truck though.
