Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he rolls through the day and replaces the front disk brake pads and rotors on a 2013 Fords Escape Titanium. Now this is a pretty simple job to do but it would be best before you handle this yourself to make sure you have the proper tools, equipment and manual. As always be safe!

And this is the kind of Mechanic I want working on my 2015 Ford Escape , very detailed and does everything the way a brake job should be done.👍

@barberdoug6930 Год назад

Good Mechanic Very Through. Knows His Trade.

@survivalgroup7504 5 лет назад

Great video and a huge help when I did the brakes on my wife's 2014 Escape. I am sold on fluid film and the caliper hanger and hub cleaning kit made life so much easier.Thanks for the help!

@comingundone27 7 лет назад

Rocking out the videos this week. Thanks Eric!

@JPilot2 7 лет назад

G'day, Mr.O! Another video in a row this week! Amazing! You really knocked that one out, the replacement of front disk brake pads and rotors on a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium. Thank you!! Cheers! :-)

@scaryfear21 7 лет назад

If I was sure that mechanic would do it this thorough like Eric does, I definitely would not do the brake job myself. Video really shows the method I'd call "can't be better". Well done.

@vettefreak89 7 лет назад

Another SMA video in a row this week! Sweet! Learned some new tricks for when I do my next brake job.

@88mccormick 3 года назад

Four years later and this video still helping out haha thanks for the great info!

@smtnag 2 года назад

Really great video. Love the care you put into your work at the shop

@darcydesmit3774 7 лет назад

Thanks Eric, always like to see the process of how its done from start to finish.

@wyattoneable 7 лет назад

One of the first things I do in the morning is to check for new videos. About this time is when my wife is cooking breakfast. If she hears "Eric has a new video" she know's she's eating alone.

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

My wife made me fish and spinach for b-fast this a.m.

@deanadaniels3084 4 года назад

I really enjoyed your video. You explained everything so simply!

@skottshores9710 6 лет назад

Just want to add a thanks - this video and another one got me through my first brake job! Only hurdle to overcome was a piston that would not compress. Had to go to Auto Zone and rent a compression kit that would turn the piston while pushing on it. Worked like a charm and since rentals are free with deposit, cost me nothing! Unless I don't return it! ;)

@MarkK01 4 года назад

Eric, this time last year I had to change my rotors and pads in the from of my Escape. I went with Brembo because that is what they sold at the place my son worked at. I got a super deal on them, or at least I thought. Over the course of the last year my brakes were getting worse and my front rotors were severely warped. I took off the front tires to find that these great Brembos (not), the pads were wore down to 2mm friction thickness and like I said earlier the rotors were warped. The place where I bought them from said that Brembo had some quality issues around that time and they did exchange everything for free. If OEM Ford ones were not so damn expensive I would have went that route. Well I have learned my lesson. Always go OEM.

@bnjmnmrtn360 7 лет назад

so glad to see you're on patreon, people like yourself should be getting paid GOOD cash for the service you provide. The time and effort put in to cranking out these should be compensated, wise move :)

@hawaiianf1504 7 лет назад

I'm waiting on Eric O. to record the voice on my GPS... -Ok, let's start, seat belts torqued to factory specs! -In 200 metres turn right and give it the beans! -Whoa whoa you missed the exit you son of a monkey! -Now you have to turn back, you Dorman lover!!! -Now make a U turn, If I can do it, you can do it! -You've arrived to your destination, I told you, 1,2, BBQ!

@adragonam 7 лет назад

The whoa whoa should have been "holy crap biscuit you missed the turn there little fella."

@chungaleta1234 7 лет назад

LOL you nailed it. - There's your problem lady! Police reported ahead!

@edwardhugus2772 6 лет назад

After the 1,2, BBQ do we get our brake cleen music fix?

@davjociestanski5743 7 лет назад

This is not just a standard brake change this one is with. SMA which is top notch job that show you and tells you and where to go to get more information to perform this job thank you Eric

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

he did, what should always be done, but most likely is never done as such, more so at the factory service departments, >_

@jessedube9617 5 месяцев назад

Anti-seize, aka "Satan's Butter". Get a dab on you the size of a pencil eraser and by 5pm you'll look like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz, no matter how careful you try to be.

@timothybarney7257 7 лет назад

Used to work in an electronics factory, and we used white heat sink compound. Just as nasty. People would play pranks by putting it on people's safety glasses on the bridge of the nose piece. Rule number one with that stuff, WIPE IT OFF DRY, DO NOT USE WATER OR IT WON'T COME OFF!

@ctscantechnologist 7 лет назад

I too was initially taught to use anti seize. Many years ago, I got to meet a bendix rep. The rep told me anti seize is a petroleum product that deteriorates the rubber boots. Of course, the rep introduced me to some bendix brake lube that does work well.

@robertcrawbuck5761 9 месяцев назад

Thanks. Always great to see a detailed video of this. I have rudimentary tools, but enough to do a proper job. An old torque bar, which is why the wheel needs to be turned so it can fit . By the way , 129 ft-lbs is not so easily done! It was a little concerning as the previous Brake job, done by a place starting with "P", had the Caliper plate bolts at 60 ft-lbs! I looked at a few different videos to get a good sense of what to do and look for. You cover the bases so thanks again.

@GrahamReid34 7 лет назад

i'd rather listen to "some guy on RU-vid" You taught me how to do brakes, this is the exact same setup as my 2010 bmw 530d i did the brake pads last week, was easy IF you have the correct tools as you say, love these simple videos.

@blue06lt 7 лет назад

This looks very similar to the previous generation Ford Escape as well. I had a 2009 Escape and this looks very similar. Great video as always.

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

yeah, they've used the "euro-trash" design for a long time now and I mostly like it, except them damned clips that love to eat fingers :))

@jhuntosgarage 7 лет назад

Right on time. I just bought an Escape for my daughter, grest first car.

@stewart4295 7 лет назад

Love my brake clean, its so versatile, and that air hammer tool for getting of the rotors is a rippa. Stewart, Australia.

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

My two favorite tools!

@maxellus1945 7 лет назад

Interesting that the caliper design and hardware on this Ford is almost identical to the brakes on my son's 2009 BMW 323i which I just did the brakes on. Again Eric thanks for the great videos, I always enjoy and learn.

@Eastahtata 7 лет назад

Those look like ATE brand calipers. Just goes to show they're all made from a parts bin.

@edf7008 6 лет назад

Picked up some new tips and like the caliper hook.

Its raining cats and dogs in Texas. I had to cancel a road trip, due to a tornado warning. I was really bummed out thinking my 2 days off will be spent indoors. Saw another new video from SMA, and I'm now thinking screw the bad weather! Everything is gonna be ok 👌 Time for another SMA binge marathon. 😈

@casperthesavage22 4 года назад

I’ve done 3 of these, including the brake hose, the difference between these brake-to-caliper hoses are these are directly threaded EASY, compared to the banjo bolts

@GodKedon 7 лет назад

Leaving the turkey baster with brake fluid adds flavor. Also mazda uses a very similar design on most their cars, I think it's the same since the oem parts have fomoco in the Ford script cast in them. Great design for here in ny.

@tonyrush2144 6 лет назад

Nice professional job. All metric nut sizes does suprise me.

@pauldavis5075 7 лет назад

Great video. Just got the Autel Diaglink($109) after seeing you use autel. It's the DIY version of the MD802 it does one make of vehicle and then $10 for each additional make, looks like 3 will fit in memory. It is awesome I can see all modules i believe all the factory PIDS and graph two of them at a time or merge graphs wow. Thanks again. How about a t-shirt for sale with all your colorful phrases...it would be a best seller. Have the viewers suggest their top five phrases and 1-2-barbeque better than a money light.

@dartman1965 7 лет назад

I did the front brakes on the brides town and country and they looked like the same as that ford from the clips to the pads and the caliper bracket.

@ramivalencia 5 лет назад

If it weren't for your videos, I'd be very reluctant to repairing and maintaining my cars myself. Of course, for engine, fuel, airbag or transmission issues, I don't mess around and take it to a trusted shop. But for everything else, I feel a bit of confidence giving it a good shot.

@kenrodgers3324 7 лет назад

Hey Eric can you do a video on rear brakes with a car that has a electric emergency brake. I'm interested in learning how to remove and reinstall them without using the scan tool.

@bobseidel1897 4 года назад

Great video as usual. Thanks

@MyOldTractors 5 лет назад

Thanks for the help doing my wife's brakes on her 2014 escape. Well you know what I mean, this video took the mystery out of them and I had the right size Alan socket to take the calipers off. I also picked up the took to clean around the wheel lugs...HUGE help. I also got the hook to hang the caliper which is much safer than balancing it. Keep up the good work.

@rayraycthree5784 3 года назад

Ever since having my 1985 bronco piston seize some miles after retracting it to replace the pads, I always open the bleeders before retracting the pistons to get the old fluid out and then flush new fluid from the reservoir down to completely change the fluid.

@baxrok2. 7 лет назад

Rose clip? Phenolic piston? Torque wrench! What is happening here! lol Good stuff. Thanks Eric!

@paulchinn5981 Год назад

Great job again as always Eric. I just did the back on my 2013 and the pistons truned in clockwise. Maybe because it is in Canada not sure.. I see the rear ones you just did didn't turn at all..lol

@onthefly_pa3220 2 года назад

Hey, you mind commenting on the air tools you used to bust the rust from rotor? Also the cleaning attachments and stuff you tan. Thank you.

@3iddary 6 лет назад

Excellent. Thank you.

@frankgonzalez24 7 лет назад

A good idea to step on the brake pedal a few times after putting everything back together to push out the pads. And also good to take the vehicle for a short drive and make a few stops at varing speeds to bead in the pads and check for proper operation and noise.

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

surely he does that, but good advice to folks watching and doing it themselves, don't need any accidents. I nearly always do that, except for folks that were "race car drivers" or "mechanics" for years, they like to break in their own brakes :)

@ThePlowGuys 7 лет назад

Great video. The wife has a 2016 escape so this will come in handy. If you ever do the rear brakes Please video tape it. I just bought rotors with the new coating on them. I was told there was no cleaning necessary? Finally picked up those caliper hangers. Great stuff Eric.

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

For the rear caliper on those you need a special tool to screw in the pistons. Do you have one of them? astore.amazon.com/httpswwwy0837-20/detail/B002RDGMNM

@ThePlowGuys 7 лет назад

LOL yes I do. I bought a cheaper set since I will only be using it on the Escape and my sons Fusion. I would still love to see how it is done. Even if on a similar vehicle. Seeing it done helps so much towards the little things one might run into. Hey thanks Eric.

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

the biggest thing, make sure you rotate the "piston/tool" around some once it bottoms out to free up the internals and align the piston 180 degree from the brake pad width, ( the "pin" on back of brake pad needs to seat into the caliper notch. I've had them hang up and rotate on initial brake apply (slack take-up) so always check that before placing wheels on, use a mirror if needed :|

@wish2fish37 5 лет назад

Enjoy your videos and they are so helpful.I need some help on broken lug on 2005 Mazda Tribute ..it is front wheel drive and lug on rear is broke and I am not sure how to replace it due to no way to get new one in.The backing plate is in the way and am not sure if I remove the ermergency brakes and then get the backing plate off if there will be room?Do not want to have to try and remove the hub?

@mitsulancer91 7 лет назад

I have a 2014 escape se and I've had a major itch to see how bad this job really is. thanks for the video

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

easy as pie front brakes, the guide pins rarely ever have seizing issues, the clips can be finger eater/flying eye-killers though :)) the rear brakes are a bit funkier, but still not super bad

@xaderzz7217 3 года назад

@de3481 2 года назад

@ctscantechnologist 7 лет назад

I like to open the bleeder screw when compressing the piston. It prevents fluid reentering the master cylinder, it gets a lot easier to compress, and more importantly it prevents the possibility of triggering an ABS code.

@19dines77 6 лет назад

I will be following your video as I do my own 2008 Ford Escapes brakes and rotors. Though I will have someone that knows what they are doing along side just in case!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!!

@andrewpilney7852 7 лет назад

Hey Eric! Love your videos. I am looking to get new pads for my 2009 Tacoma and my girlfriends 2014 Focus in the near future. Do you recommend OEM for these applications? I know you're not a fan of aftermarket crap (neither am I) but I am wondering if you know of any good brands that have stood out other than OEM. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

@rrmech11 7 лет назад

Eric I forgot about the nut and bolts videos. They'll help many of our subscribers. I'm saving for a pico. Should I be interested in the touch screen version? What model of the 4 channel scopes do you recommend? Also have you seen the support of picos from Autonerdz. Where do you recommend my purchase? And most importantly what model Dr.O

@bobmoy3406 7 лет назад

Just did a brake job on a 2012 Town and Country yesterday. Rear pin was frozen causing a spongy feel to the pedal. Rotors were stuck brought out my snap-on air hammer and couldn't get the rotor to break free (weak sauce), brought out the IR (Ingersoll Rand) and took only two squeeze of the trigger to break the rotor free. Heated the bracket with the frozen pin and got the pin moving, only casualty was the rubber boot, which I had to cut before applying the torch to the bracket. Don't really like breathing burning rubber. Great video!

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

Ahhhh I can smell it now!

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

common replacement items, pins, boots etc now days it's best to just get a caliper/bracket and slap the whole thing on ;)
