In this video I’m working on a 2006 Ford Econoline E-350 and walking you step-by-step through replacing the rear brake pads and rotors. This same basic procedure applies to a lot of the 2003–2007 E-Series vans (E150, E250, E350) with the same brake setup. I show you how I jack the van up safely off the center of the pumpkin, set jack stands under the axle, pull the wheel, and then crack the caliper loose by prying the piston in just a bit so the caliper comes off easier. From there I go through removing the caliper and bracket (don’t hang the caliper by the hose), getting the rotor off, and what to do if the parking brake is keeping the rotor stuck. I also show you the right way to prep the hub—clean it down to bare metal—because rust or debris can cause runout and vibrations. Then I clean the new rotor’s oily film with brake clean, adjust the park brake star wheel until it’s in the ballpark with a slight drag, service the bracket hardware, lube the slides, and torque everything properly (122 ft-lb for the bracket bolts, 26 ft-lb for the caliper bolts, and 140 ft-lb for the lug nuts). Finally, I pump the brake pedal 5–6 times before driving so you’ve got a firm pedal.
