changing the brake pads is pretty easy, after you remove the tire locate the two large bolts on the back side of the caliper i think they are 13/16 heads. remove these two bolts. after the bolts are out use a pry bar to work the caliper straight up off the rotor, slide the pads out of the caliper and compress the piston in the caliper, this can be done with a large c-clamp if you don't have a piston compressor (use the old brake pad as a buffer so you don't damage the piston).
4x2 remove the dust cap in the center of the hub use a pair of dikes to straighten and remove the cotter pin that's locks the castle nut in place then remove the castle nut (can be done with channellocks if you don't have large enough socket) slide the hub off the spindle careful not to drop the bearing and washer on the ground. *** put the lug nuts back on the studs up side down and flush them to the end of the stud if you still hve the stock open lug nuts if not then just be sure to hit the studs square so you don't damage the threads. place the hub on hard solid ground rotor side down and knock the studs out with a fairly good size hammer. reverse process to assemble
4x4 this is a little more difficult than 4x2 you will need some specialty tools (torqs, picks, snap ring pliers, and a 2 3/4 inch rounded hex socket) these instructions are for a stock Ford automatic hub. remove the outer hub (three small torqs bolts). use a small to medium straight screwdriver to remove the first locking ring (inside lock) slide the inner hub assembly out of the hub. remove the outside snap ring from the axle shaft slide the three washers of of the shaft keeping them in order. there will be a small half circle keeper on the large nut remove this with a pick use the 2 3/4 socket to remove the hub nut slide the hub off the spindle careful not to drop the bearing and washer on the ground then follow the 4x2 instructions from the *** GOOD LUCK
have you tried the proportioning valve. sometimes dirt will get in there and clog the returns.
They look exactly like the rear brakes from a 1969 F250
1,000 miles
how do you change the oil filter on 2006 f250 diesel?
disc brakes , front and rear ( according to motorcraft.com )
a 1997 f250 has 250 hp
14qts Rotella T 15W40
The F250 was available with the 5.4. If yours was a 5.4 it's a direct drop in. If not, then yes....it will fit but you may need to change motor/frame mount brackets, computer and wiring, etc.
Just like any other vehicle you replace them when they wear down. When you see rings on the rotors them selves, Ex. you will see circles ground down into the remaining rotor. Or when you fell jerking while braking, could be rotors.
Where can I find a diagram of a 1999 Ford F250 front disc brakes before I attempt to install them?
Run the truck backwards to about 10 Mph, hit you brakes very hard. This will adjust your brakes in general.
