4 hours to change all four pads, that's insane. Hour to hour and a half and you should be done.

 

I recommend a Haynes manual too, you'll learn that you're capable of doing a lot the maintenance on our trucks (any vehicle for that matter) with that manual and a few tools. I bought my 2nd one (first was used so much and had oil/grease stains) for $20 on eBay.

 

Oh I know, I do them in an hour! But he have to do everything in detail, we replace the rotors also most of the time! Either replace or resurface!

 

that is crazy I bought pads and new rotors and my shop charged me $45 thats with brake fluid flush new brake fluid..

The expedition uses larger rotors, the same size as the 7700 f150 only 5 lug. The 7700 caliper is larger and uses metal pistons instead of phenolic. Combining these parts is as simple as stock replacements and apparently is a significant improvement. I have not done this yet, however I did read about it recently in another thread. I plan to do this upgrade myself as soon as my current pads bite the dust.

Try doing a forum search for these things, you should find a few posts mentioning the expy upgrade atleast.

 

Absolutely do this yourself op. Take your time, spend the money on the right parts, and tools, and you will still spend less than $350.

 

DONT USE THIS AS A GUIDE.

In no way do I recommend these particular parts, its just a giving you a ballpark idea of how much this should cost.

$53 for one 7700 loaded caliper (pads brackets and hardware included) x2 = $106

https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/mor...611&cc=1385333
$26 one Expedition caliper x2 = $52

Not including tax (if applicable) or shipping costs this looks like $158

Likely you dont need rotors and could save ~$75 there if you would like, and simply buy some pads.

You can spend $60 on a pair of SS brake lines. I would replace with stock ones atleast ~$8* @ rock auto.
