Ford F-150 Front and Rear Brake Replacement (2015-2020) How to Disable Electric Parking Brake

In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace front and rear brake pads on a 2018 F150. If you have a Ford expedition or navigator these procedures will work just as well. We show how to disable electric parking brake.

I just did my front brakes on my 2015 FORD F-150 MYSELF and i take pride in doing the work myself because I know that my grandpa and dad taught me right and they are both passed on now.

Never changed a brake before in my life. Watched the video, changed the brakes. No issues ! Awesome Video!

Man I'm really happy that this looked fairly straight forward... I've owned Jeeps and Chevy trucks but nothing this new and I had a brake pad break the other day and was concerned that there might be a bunch of weird censors and stuff to deal with. Great video guys it's much appreciated!!!

Just did the brake maintenance mode just like you did and it worked perfectly. 2018 ford f150 4wd 3.5twin turbo eco boost👊🏽

Nice job fellas!

26 lbs of torque on those 13mm caliper bolts.

The little details in this video are great. The part/tool callouts, lighting and tracking shots add a lot of polish.

Hey guys, thanks for this. I haven't done brakes on my truck since it was an 89 F250 and you made me feel comfortable doin it! Apart from my wheels being almost welded to the rotors it went great!

This is my first time with an electronic e brake on an F150 Limited. Excellent video. Very helpful.

Thanks for the close ups and good camera quality. It helped me confirm I have the right parts.

This was by far one of my favorite videos to make recently... and it was just about changing the brakes on a truck! Haha, just shows how hanging out with a good friend can make things fun.

As always, also loved learning something from you along the way. Great job explaining what you did.

Just changed my brake pads this morning and this video helps! Thanks for taking time out to make this, not only it's great but it saved me money😊👍

[PowerfulRoman]

Thanks for the video! I just done my front and rear pads due to the help of this video.

[chrisbutler]

Do I still need to put it in maintenance mode if I am just gonna do the front brakes ?

[toneale]

Anytime I have done brakes over my 40+ years we ALWAYS were taught to turn the rotors so there was a good machined surface (not slick with uneven wear lines) for the new pads to seat to. Also, remove and re-grease the pins to avoid binding which will cause pads not to release evenly thereby eating up the rotor relatively quickly. Great presentation and video quality. Just to much of a Wham-Bam job.

Thanks, getting ready to do my brakes and wanted to see what I was getting into. Definitely did not know about the parking brake. Thanks again very helpful

I’m glad this video exists I just assumed that a brake change would be the same as any other vehicle without an electric parking brake 1:08

I have watched a couple video in this is the best by far. Right to it... My man. Thank you.

At the 3:35 min mark, you mention the thin area that you can barely get a wrench in. It is a 17mm and I found a set of metric open end wrenches that fit right in. The width of the thin area is just a hair over 3/16. I tried needle nose vice grips and I almost stripped it so I needed something more precise. The bolt weren’t easy to break, after 4 years. Just make sure you got the right tools, before you start. Once I had everything, it went really fast. Honestly, the hardest part was taking of the tires.

Great job. Thank you for doing this step by step.

Glad I watched this. Didn't know about the E brake disable. I probably would have beating the crap out of the calipers trying get them off. Side note, I've always just used a big C clamp and one of the old pads to compress the pistons.
