2013-19 Ford Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit TRQ BKA11851

Take this cap off. You can use a rag and a pry bar. There's a little slot right there, and just pry that out. Use a 21-millimeter socket, take the lug nuts off. Remove the wheel. Take these two caliper bolts out. Use a 16-millimeter socket.

Now I'm just gonna take a screwdriver, and in between the brake rotor and the bracket, or the caliper, just compress the piston a little bit, just so it's easier to remove. You can slide this off. Just like that. And you can use a brake caliper hanger, and just find somewhere where you can attach it. Or if you need to, use a bungee cord. And I'm just gonna hang it from the leaf spring right there. The important thing is make sure there's no tension on the brake hose. Remove the brake pads. Just take a screwdriver, pry them off. Take the brake caliper bracket bolts out. Use a 21-millimeter socket. And just slide the bracket right off. Now take the rotor off. If it doesn't come off, just take a hammer, give it a couple taps in that area right there. Just be careful. Don't hit the studs. You don't wanna damage them.

Since we're replacing the rotor, it doesn't matter. We're gonna give it a tap on the backside. Get it loose enough, and slide it off. The parking brake adjustment is right here. You can use a straight blade screwdriver to make your adjustments. If you wanna tighten it or loosen it, turn it one way or the other. When you're installing the rotor, you just want a little bit of touching while you install the rotor, very light. Then take a wire brush and just clean the hub surface, any of the rust that's built up on there. If you want to, you can use a grinder. Just be very careful. Don't take off too much material. Just gonna use a thin coat of anti-seize, and just spread it on the hub surface. Now, install the rotor backwards first. Take some brake parts cleaner, clean off the backside of the rotor, and just wipe it with a rag. You can wipe out the inside as well, where the shoes are gonna hit, the parking brake shoes. Flip it around, slide it on. Make your adjustments for the parking brake. Feels pretty good right there. And clean this side. And wipe it down.

Now take these pad clips off. Just use a screwdriver. And take a wire brush, clean up any corrosion and rust buildup on here. And just take some caliper grease, nice thin coat. Take the new clips, line them up. And another thin coat of grease. And do the same to the other side. And take the pin out. Just slide the boot off, and wipe it down. If it's extremely corroded, you can use some brake parts cleaner, and same in the hole and a wire brush. Just take some caliper grease and grease up the pin, and slide it back in. And then make sure the boot is sealed. That looks good. Do the same on the other one.

Now we're gonna install the caliper bracket over the rotor and put the bolts in. You can use a little thread locker on the bolts. Get those started. Tighten those down. Now we're gonna torque those bolts to 203 foot-pounds. Now install the brake pads. Take the caliper off the caliper hook. And we're gonna compress the caliper. Use a caliper compressing tool. If you need to, use one of the old brake pads to help you out. And compress it nice and slow. Now slide the brake caliper over the brake pads. Line that up.

Now install the brake caliper bolts, and tighten those down. And torque those to 55 foot-pounds. Now install the wheel, and the lug nuts. Tighten those down. Now, we're gonna tighten the wheel down to 165 foot-pounds in a cross pattern, to tighten the wheel down evenly.

Just go around again, double-check. Now line the hub cap up, our center cap, and tap it on. Make sure you pump the brake pedal nice and slow. Then check the master cylinder reservoir, and there's the max line right there. Adjust the level accordingly.
