I've only done it myself. About every 60k for the front pads, the shoes last longer.

Ok. I don't wanna attempt those on my own. Mainly because I don't wanna have my truck outta comission for multiple days if I mess up or there's bolts too rusted together. Can't wait 'till I get a Mustang, then I'll have one to drive while working on the other. By the time I'm 20

He doesn't have a Raptor either.

I'd skip the Mach 1 and I would love to have a Red 10th Anniversary Cobra. I was looking at them when I got the R. Lightnings have never moved me in any way. I like that they are Fords, but I'd rather buy something else.

I'd give my left nut for a Lightning. I have a red '03 model sitting on top of my TV. I LOVE those things. That's the absolute only '97-'03 F150 I'd drive though, because if I'm gonna wreck, it's gonna be grand anyway. Those things are death traps in a frontal collision

Well it would take a pristine Ford GT to pry my left nut out of my *******. At least that's the price of my left nut.

Its really a no brainer. Although the bleed screws can be a bugger. WD-40 has sulfuric acid (which is why it should never be used as lubricant on guns or locks) so I start applying that ahead of time in multi-doses. The rear shoes are just springs you have to lever in place, no bolts. The front pads need to have the calipers compressed for the new thicker pads.

It doesn't sound too bad... but I still can't take the chance my truck will be undriveable for more than a day.

I'm thinkin the front sounds about right if they're new rotors - and a guarantee (tire shop here 'Les Schwab' gives 3 yrs). They'd insist on new calipers - but I've had them go bad and replaced under their warranty on another car I've since sold.
But the rear sounds high. They're usually less than the front (although the cyl costs some). Why are they turning the drums? Did you have rivet to drum contact?

Funny... that reminds me of rebuilding wheel cylinders and master cylinders on my Land Cruisers. Still have the hone! For me it was a matter of pride (& money) to never use a shop when I was young. LOL

Yeah, will be getting new rotors on the front.

There's a pulsation in my brakes, and he's thinking the rears may contribute, hence the new drums (can't turn them, already been done by a PO). I'm going to get the fronts and backs done separate, so if it's smooth as butter and the old rears are still there, I'm just going to get the new linings and wheel cylinders for the back

I have the exact same pride thing. It just gets hurt, this will be the first thing except for tires I've had done to it by someone else

Ya, it's the driver's side. Passenger side worked fine from both sides.

How?



GT500 = 7, R = R, GT hatch = vert, lightning = raptor, mach = bronco. Not completely equal of course but that's five fun cars compared to six. So it's actually one.

let it be known to any future employers...if Gary ever buys a Ford GT, I will be taking a few days off, and driving to wherever this greatness will be at.
