Sorry if there is and I'm just blind, but I have googled and searched the forum but cannot seem to find a DIY on changing out rotors and pads on an 09+ F-150. I know that it is more than likely straight forward as most brake changes are, but I thought I saw somewhere you needed a ridiculous amount of torque at some point. Please link if there is one and I'm just not seeing it, THANKS!

Lugnuts are torqued to 150 ft/lbs according to the manual. I know that much.

BenCronin04

Yea, and that I can handle. I thought I saw somewhere about having to torque something down when changing out the caliper around 500+ pounds.....now that is a different story all together. It is also a little nerve racking that I can find tons and tons of DIYs on changing out brakes on 04-08 trucks, but NOTHING on 09+.

I also read on here to watch which pads go where, like left and right or inboard vs outboard.

You wouldn't thing much had changed from 04-08 to 09 on up would you?

BenCronin04

Agreed, but it's just strange to me that I can't find a single DIY for 09+.

I found this one, he' got a cold or allergies or something, so that's a bit annoying, but it might be what you're looking for.






*Disclaimer* I didn't watch all the way through, as I really don't care for the guy's voice, or the sniffling...you were warned.
Also here's a vid on mistakes to avoid.

I didn't watch all the videos all the way through but skipped around a bit, I may have missed it but I didn't see anyone mention applying Loc-Tite to the caliper bracket to knuckle mounting bolts upon re-installation.

That is a critical step and should always be done, I can't even begin to count the number of times I've heard someone say that one of those bolts fell out or the bracket fell off shortly after doing pads and rotors and F-150s seem to be especially prone to it.

Just a normal amount of blue Loc-Tite is all you need, do not skip this!
