Ford Kuga Brake Pad Replacement // Mk2 Kuga

A DIY Guide to show you How to do a Ford Kuga Brake Pad Replacement. A brake pad change on a mk2 Ford Kuga / Ford Explorer is actually pretty easy due to the caliper design. After you replace the pads, remember to bed them in and that they may not be as effective initially. As a rule of thumb, you can fit two sets of pads to every one set of discs but this depends on driving style and conditions etc.
The car that featured in this video was a Ford Kuga 2015. The video should be relevant for all mk2 Kuga cars. The Ford Escape is essentially the same car, so the process should be very similar or the same.

The only video that mentions removing the fluid cap! Well done.

[@ReviveMyRide]

@stu4051 cheers buddy! 👍🙂

[@ivanvovanonselen487]

Excellent. I liked the tip to ease the brake cylindar back in ahead of time with a screw driver.

[@ReviveMyRide]

Cool! I always try to share little techniques if I can. When you do it, just keep an eye on your fluid level in the reservoir to make sure it doesn't overflow as that's where it gets pushed back to. 👍😎

Well done, i just sold mine, a 64 plate titanium, when i bought the CLK and did this job, as ive said before i did although sand the caliper and paint it !!

[@ReviveMyRide]

Thanks! It was an interesting job! The callipers are really well designed for easily replacing the pads. Don’t think my Dad would have been up for painting the callipers! 😂

[@sliderdriver1]

Looked like your pads have anti squeel pads fitted? A touch of ceramic greese on the piston pad clips works wonders to prevent pad noise too👍🏻

[@ReviveMyRide]

hi @stu4051 yes, they were anti squeel pads but I like your tip, didn't think about a touch of grease on the clips, will defo give that a try next time! 👍 cheers, Phil

[@matt-rx6hi]

Great video, worked perfectly to get my car through the MOT. Just wondering, can I reset the piston on the rear brakes in the same manner?

[@ReviveMyRide]

Hi, I haven't done the rear brakes yet on this car. I'd be surprised if they were a different type though... Thanks, Phil

[@stemcleeds]

Nice work guys 👍

[@ReviveMyRide]

Thanks! Working with my Dad on this one! Always a pleasure to work with him, he's a great mechanic and slow and methodical like me (we're two peas in a pod 😂)

[@tobiasesterhuizen4854]

Hi, well done, just replaced mine using ur vid.

[@ReviveMyRide]

Thanks for your comment! Great that the video helped you 👍😃

[@bamstersv1000s]

Helpful video. Did you need a piston rewind tool?

[@ReviveMyRide]

No, on this particular model, the piston just pushed straight back (no spinning or winding required), so you can lever between the old pads (long screwdriver) before removing them or apply gentle pressure with a small G clamp to push the piston back. Sorry that I didn't show it! Cheers, Phil

[@RuperScooper]

No silicon or ceramic grease on the slider pins?

[@ReviveMyRide]

I’m sure using some wouldn’t do any harm! My Dad was doing the job (he’s been doing this sort of work for donkey’s years) and he’s never used it, so I wasn’t going to argue 😂 Brakes are still working fine since they were done and this vid was made, however long ago that was… cheers, Phil

[@RuperScooper]

@@ReviveMyRide fair play it was a good video - always always use grease on those pins it’s vital that’s why they have the protective rubber caps to keep the dirt and moisture out and grease in - your old man is a legend 🤙

[@ReviveMyRide]

@@RuperScooperthanks for the info, I’ll defo be looking to grease next time 👍 Love working with my Dad on stuff, he’s methodical like me, no rushing and always comes out with some amusing comments! 😂
