99 f350 Brake front caliper rebuild with detail boot installation.
there is many videos on how to disassemble and reassemble brake caliper, but for the 1999-2004 F350, f250, and Excursion you don't have anything I can find, this might work with newer F-series and etc, but the Piston dust boots have a trick to install. hope this video helps, I'm planning to add more on the 99 f350.

how to take out piston? Why not show?
@@capju854 I should have, I didn't think about it at the time. I made the end for my nozzle to my air hose that I use to blow off dust and other things to fit tight around my bleeder valve, put a small board between the pistons and the caliper so the pistons wouldn't hit the steel and damage them, a 1x4 work good for me.then set my compressor to a low psi setting then squeeze the handle on my air nozzle to push the pistons out. One piston came right out with low psi, the other one was stuck and had to crank up the psi, the board was a plus when it broke loose it hit the board. I had to replace 2 in my front calipers. At the time I could only find steel pistons for the front. I prefer steel. I hope this helps and next time I will add how-to on piston removal.
Thanks for the Detail on getting seals in.
Thanks for the help Rodney 👍
Thanks brother! I'll be doing my 99 F250 in a few days.
great vid Rodney !. I have been through this process at least 10 times with my 04. My calipers use phenolic pistons. I found out that over time the plastic swells and sticks the pistons in the bore- or makes them very hard ( takes 150 lbs air to blow them out) that caused the brakes to drag and fail to release. The little square rubber O-Ring is the ONLY thing that pulls the piston backwards when your foot comes off the brake. That little O-Ring cant exert much force- so its very important that the pistons move free- as you said - 20 PSI. Another big problem is that rebuilt calipers all most always have the guide pins bent. (prob the ears bent where they screw in) You have to very slightly grind the seating face and get the pins parallel so the other half doesnt cock sideways and bite into the pin and lock the whole thing up. Rodney--- do you know if the earlier calipers with the steel pistons will fit on the 99 -04 trucks ? Those plastic pistons are just trash. The earlier steel ones are slightly smaller. But will the earlier caliper mate with the later chassis. ( I am SRW 2004) Tim
I can't remember where I bought the pistons but only the front ones I could find in steel, I couldn't find the rear in steel.
You are the man Rodney. Thank you
I thank you and your wife Mr Rodney. Just bought me an RV and the brakes are sticking. I removed the calipers in under a minute and then I was lie...What do I do from here?.. and the good Lord lead me to you sir! God Bless you!
Your demo and words built my confidence to rebuild mine for $10 rather than replace for $80. Wish me luck!
Rodney nice video but would be nice if you listed part no. Where you got it. Thx
I will go back and look, I will added thanks
Thank you Rodney got a kit on the way for tomorrow thank you very much
You do help me solve my problem, many people put the seal in the opposite way, it really confused me a lot! By the way, why you didn’t put the iron ring after the seal is on?
Good video!
Thanks! When I do more I'll add more
Great video! Exactly what I needed. Where did you get the snazzy stainless pistons?
They aren't stainless, I can't remember exactly where I ordered them and my rear brakes I could not find in Steel and thank you for the comment
Can you share the part numbers for the pistons and seals?
I'm sorry, I haven't gotten any notifications trying to fix that I hope. I can't remember where I got them I will research, but I do know I couldn't find the rear pistons in steel, the boots I got from advance or o'riley. Again I'm sorry I didn't get the notification, I just happen to look today.
He’ll yeah Rodney! Good on ya brother! Gonna rebuild my stick 2001 superduty caliper this weekend instead of buying another one. Again!
Thank you this is what I needed your awesome
Thanks Rodney. Very to the point. Excellent job.
Thank you so much for the information ,Really nice video .your right nobody has shown it for f350 trucks
Like ur video got to do same with mine
Looking foward to see brake caliper with metal ring on it which you could show more info on the dust boot facing which direction to install like toyota brake calipers
I'm not real sure about if you're meaning which way to turn the boots on my 350 brakes, or if you're meaning how to do the Toyota brakes. If you're wanting to know about the Toyota brakes give me the make and model the info and I'll look at them and see if I can't figure a way to show you if you still need that information and thank you for your comment I'm trying to turn my notifications on
Thanks Rodney👍 I'm a marine tech shop owner down here in Florida. If you ever down in Palm Beach give me a shout. My business is A1A Advanced Marine. I'll take ya out deep sea fishing 🎣 keep the videos coming. Good, well detailed videos are hard to come by!
Thank you! I do have some work coming, actually grateful it helped, and if in Florida I definitely would love to experience deep sea fishing, thanks again.
Thanks man! That's just the info I needed.
Thank you!
