New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ABF...
This video shows you how to install new front brake pads and rotors from TRQ on your 2011-2019 Ford Explorer. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2011 Ford Explorer
2012 Ford Explorer
2013 Ford Explorer
2014 Ford Explorer
2015 Ford Explorer
2016 Ford Explorer
2017 Ford Explorer
2018 Ford Explorer
2019 Ford Explorer

Don't open the bleeder screw unless you're replacing the calipers and need to perform a system bleed. If the fluid system is sealed when you start and there is no dirty fluid in the reservoir, then how do you risk pushing dirty fluid back into the system?
When this bleeder is open when you are compressing the pistons, you risk getting air into the system and causing issues. Her method may work but you don't always see or get the full story on why she opened the bleeder. Was it just to replace pads or was there some other issue? Videos are edited for time and to keep the instruction straight forward.
Being a certified mechanic, I have replaced a lot of pads without opening the bleeder and have had zero issues. If you have to open the bleeder on the chance of pushing dirty fluid back into the system, then you most likely have dirty fluid already in the system and need to do a flush and fluid replacement. This is why the reservoir cap states to clean before removing to ensure no dirt enters the system.
I have seen comments on this video and other video where the bleeder was opened while replacing pads and for whatever reason they introduced air into the system resulting in issues. Leave the dang bleeder closed folks.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not sure id be telling people to open the bleeder for no reason at all. yall failed on this one
You’re the first besides me I’ve seen not push the old fluid back into the system. Easy and thorough. Some don’t know the one person way to bleed brakes is open the bleeder and wait, and wait.
Why did you open the bleeder screw, since there can’t be more fluid than was needed when the breaks were first new. ?
Great video! Also please note you put the inside pad on the outside and the outside pan on the inside. Thank you.
Thaks for the video, I followed it to a T and was able to get my front brakes and rotors changed without any issues!
Couldn’t you just open the master cylinder and save yourself the headache of messing with fluid leaking out?
50 year mechanic, never open the bleeder,just going to allow air in to the brake system .😮😮
Is this the same for a 2021 base model ??
Thank you for posting this very good video. I would like to add just a few comments if I may. I would make sure I change gloves when I touch the brake pads after applying the copper grease to them to avoid having grease on the pads, and I would add a mention to carefully bed the new rotors and pads after installation. There are many videos to explain the procedure.
+@ChevyGuy-kx7im Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
If I made the mistake of ordering standard Duty instead of heavy duty for my 2013 XLT with a tow package, can I use them still ? I don't plan on Towing so that's not an issue
Excelente explicación, muchas gracias, un saludo desde Chile
Excellent demonstration and agree with the entire process….
I opened the bleeder and did it to much now is barely getting any brakes
I’m pretty sure she’s done it 100 times her system obviously works
Can you replace HD brakes with standard brakes? I’ve seen tons of different stuff on it but no real answers… HD because the tow package but I never do any towing or any big hauling trips. Does it really matter?
What size are these things? 325m or 352mm for the front that is? I got 20" wheels and 2019.
I can't be sure my mechanic does this work with the same attention to detail.
Can you push the dual caliber back one by one, or is preferred to do both at the same time ? Cause I hear a lot of different things
didn’t even show putting the pads back and those stupid springs. which is the whole reason i clicked on the video. should be called how to replace rotors only
Love your video. One of the best I've seen
Thanks for video it was very helpful😊
Great, very detailed video!
Where's the 2020 and above video?!?!?!?!?
+Dustin Peterson We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
