how do you replace the caliper on an 86 f150. The caliper doesn't look like it has any bolts, which seems odd to me...how does it stay on?

 

I don't know if the '86 is the same as my '93, but my calipers are held on with two pins that can just be pushed in and out. They have rubber inside them, one pin on top of the caliper and one on the bottom. The easiest caliper removal I've ever experienced, barely any tools required.

 

Go to the Autozone site they have a real nice repair guide here:

It does cover the caliper for your year. If it is like the set on my a 78
Cougar I once had they are drop dead easy.

 

Thabks for the response- it was the easiest replacement of a caliper I have ever encountered! 10 minute job!
