In this Steve's Garage video, I cover how to replace a front brake caliper on 2009 Ford Escape. This caliper replacement video should work for any 2nd gen Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, or Mazda Tribute. The brake hardware size does differ between model years of 2nd gen Ford Escapes! In my own experience when doing brakes on a 2nd gen Ford Escape, the caliper slide pins can be 7mm or 9mm. There may be other differences as well, so please double check the size of your parts before buying any new tools!
I'm replacing the front brake caliper on this 2009 Ford Escape because it locked up while driving! If you have any questions about diagnosing a seized caliper, check out the video I link in the info card, or follow this link - • How To Diagnose a Seiz... Replacing a 2009 Ford Escape front brake caliper is pretty straight forward, and doesn't require any special tools. I list the tools in the video, but most are basic items that can be found at any local store if you don't already own them. Leave any questions or comments about the caliper replacement below, I answer everyone! As always, I'm not responsible for any issues caused on your vehicle. Please be careful working on brakes!
For this front caliper replacement, I did use a simple brake bleeding kit. It's not a must, but I highly recommend it if you're replacing the front brake caliper by yourself. The brake bleed kit was cheap, and made bleeding the caliper after replacement simple and clean!
