To change the front brakes on a 2007 Ford E350 van, start by lifting the front of the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake caliper, then unbolt the caliper and slide it off the rotor. Replace the old brake pads with new ones, ensuring they are properly seated, then reattach the caliper and wheel. Finally, pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure the pads are seated, and check the brake fluid level before lowering the vehicle.
You take out the old one and replace with a new one. Take pictures before just in case.
Remove wheels Secure rotor be re-installing 2 lug nuts Loosen both caliper mounting bolts Remove 1 of them to allow caliper to swing for access Remove outer brake pad Use "C" clamp and inner brake pad (for leverage) to retract piston into caliper body Install new brake pads Swing caliper into place and secure REMEMBER TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTOR
You need to replace your brake caliper on the side that drags. The caliper has several parts (piston & slider) that corrode and get "stuck". The only way to fix the problem is to replace the caliper. If you try cleaning the parts, it will most likely stick again within a few months.
For a 1989 E350 motorhome, common brake upgrades include replacing the stock brake pads with high-performance options, upgrading to larger rotors for improved stopping power, or installing a better brake booster for enhanced pedal feel. Additionally, adding a brake controller for towing can improve braking performance when hauling a trailer. It's also advisable to consider upgrading to a dual-piston caliper setup for increased braking efficiency. Always ensure that any upgrades are compatible with the vehicle's specifications.

The rear brakes on most E350 vans are disc brake set-up....they are replaced just as the front pads are....remove the rear wheels....then open the bleeder valve on the rear caliper (one at a time)....then use a large screw driver and insert it through the oblong hole in the top of the caliper....try and grab the front of the rotor with the tip of the screw driver and slowly pry the caliper toward you...this just eliminates the need to use a c-clamp to press the caliper piston back into the caliper....remove the caliper bolts and lift the caliper from the caliper bracket.....replace the old pads and replace the caliper...if the caliper piston is still not pressed in far enough, use a c-clamp to press the piston the rest of the way in...once the piston is pressed all he way in tighten the bleeder valve (opening the bleeder valve eliminates the chance of pushing trash into the ABS proportioning valve and triggering the ABS light)....replace the caliper bolts...replace the wheel...and then move on to the other side....remember when both sides are done to pump up the brakes (otherwise the pedal will travel to the floor and no brakes)....If your van has rear drum brakes it is a bit more difficult but not bad....hope this helps.

I take it you mean day-time running lights? Place the parking brake on the first notch will turn them off and not apply the brake.
bulb gone? fuse burned? battery dead?
To adjust the parking brake on a 2003 Ford E350 van, start by ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface and the wheels are chocked. Locate the parking brake adjustment mechanism, typically found under the vehicle near the rear axle, and turn the adjustment nut to increase or decrease tension on the brake cables. After adjustments, test the parking brake by engaging it and ensuring it holds the vehicle securely. If necessary, repeat the adjustment process until the desired tension is achieved.
either you have lost your brake fluid through a leak or you need a new brake master cylinder (the type of master cylinder varies according to if you have anti-lock brakes on all wheels, just the back, or not at all)
