Super helpful! Very easy to follow with nothing left out. I just did the rear brakes on my 2016 fusion and it only took me about 20 minutes per side. Thank you so much for the great video!
WHEN DOING REAR BRAKES ON FORD FUSION THAT HAS EPB FIRST STEP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING (TAKING OFF THE TIRE OR LIFTING IT) ,IS TO PUT THE CAR IN MAINTENCE MODE (10 SECOND PROCEDURE)...THEN THE STEPS IN VIDEO ABOVE WILL APPLY...BUT ALSO WHEN CAR IS IN MAINTENCE MODE U CAN USE JUST A REGULAR PISTON CALIPER COMPRESSOR TO PUSH PISTON IN REAR AS YOU WOULD THE FRONT BRAKES , NO TWISTING REQUIRED (WHEN DOING STEPS BELOW YOU WILL HEAR EPB MOTOR RETRACT OR CONTRACT WHEN STARTING OR FINISHING MAINTENCE MODE PROCEDURE MAINTENCE MODE: TURN KEY ON PUSH GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR PUSH EPB BUTTON DOWN AT THE SAME TIME TURN KEY OFF AND ON WITHIN 5 SECS...NOW UR IN MAINTENCE MODE TURN KEY OFF DO YOUR REPAIRS THEN WHEN DONE DO THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE BUT INSTEAD OF HOLDING EPB BUTTON DOWN U NOW HOLD UP...U WILL SEEE MAINTENCE MODE DISSAPEAR FROM DASH
Use high quality grease, and a dab of loctite on the threads doesn't hurt. I have seen calipers just ''fall'' off at 35mph (not my work) Remember - you're driving the car sometimes with your kids in it!
It's annoying that Ford made it so difficult to put it in service mode, why didn't they just add it to their electronic menu? It's almost like they want self-maintenance to be difficult.
Man, you are good :) I followed your instructions and I changed my rotors and brake pads this morning but I wasn't lucky at all. Firstly, the automatic maintenance mode worked for the half way only so I had to rotate the piston with a needle nose pliers which was exhausting. Secondly, I tightened the 7 mm bolts and I broke one of those bolts inside the caliper bracket so I had to look for another bracket which is expensive (120 CAD) so I went to a local shop to extract that stupid bolt and that worked well but costed me 30 CAD plus 60 CAD for taxi :D Anyway, I know I wasn't lucky but at least the brakes work well now and I have a great experience now 💪💪 Thanks buddy!
Hate it when the job doesn't go as expected! I'm glad that you were able to save some money by getting the bolt extracted. Plus, you have the knowledge to do it next time and it'll be a lot faster. Thanks for watching the video! Glad it could help.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting! Sorry for the delayed response. That is correct, you can also put it in maintainance mode and the calipers will push back in. To me, this is just an easier way of doing it, and I always like having a reason to have another tool. Thanks again!
Maint Mode: Place key in ignition, turn key to ON position, press accel pedal down and hold down, then PRESS down on PARKING BREAK button (within 5 seconds) turn key OFF and back to ON (holding accel pedal down all along). Screen will verify. To turn off Maintenance Mode, same procedure except you PULL up PARKING BREAK button.
@@tsunami770 Your maintenance mode isnt working. I pushed the calipers in myself, and only now hearing of this maintenance mode. Now my back calipers are new, and front old. But my back tires have clamped up, and aren't moving... any advise???
Your video showed these parts coming off fairly easy after you removed the bolts. There has to be something blocking these from coming off...? I've done brakes before, but not on a Fusion with electronic parking brake.
In Canada, the rotors don't come off so easily ... lmao - thanks for the video. FYI - I don't think many people turn rotors anymore - most including me just buy new shit ...
Hey Dennis, thanks for watching! I imagine with the salt on the roads, you probably had to give it a few "taps" to get it to come loose. I must be showing my age apparently. 🤣 I still get them turned. Saves a few bucks that I'd rather spend on the bike. Lol thanks again!
@@RSWarriorBryan the fronts went on pretty good. I noticed when I put the wheel on that theres like 3mm clearance from caliper shim to the rim. Kinda close but no grinding. I used akebono brake pads. The pad seemed pretty thick. I had more clearance before.
I'm always amazed at how close the calipers are to the rims when I put them back on. You should be fine as long as there is not rubbing initially. Over time, as the pads wear away, they'll sink in more. Glad that you were able to get them changed out without any problems!
So I didn't know you had to have the calipers and brakes installed before putting into service mode, put it in service mode with the caliper off and now the piston is fully extended, how do I get it back in?
Is this the model with the electronic brake? I did mine a while back and had no problems with it. Then all of a sudden my electronic e brake “needs maintenance” I assume it’s cause I didn’t put it into rear brake service mode. Has this been the case for anyone else?
...as well as properly hanging it out of the way with something so that it's not hanging from it's own weight at the end of the brake line, which can compromise the brake line.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, you'll have to take everything apart to get the rotor off, unfortunately. You may be able to get away without turning the caliper piston back in, but you can use a set of needle nose pliers also, if you don't want to purchase a separate tool. Hope the video was able to help. Thanks again!
Not necessarily. You can take a set of needle nose pliers and stick them in the two holes and twist that way. I just always look for reasons to get more tools. 🤣 hope that helps!
hey, would this process work on a 2017 fusion S?? I hope you can respond soon, my rear tire is making a very bad noise so I took the car to the dealer and is extremely expensive to replace the rotor and pads. I'd like to try it by myself. Thank you!
@@cruzsolis13 no I didn’t find a video but the one over here is the same thing. Pretty straightforward process, not difficult, just a little bit hard to remove the rotor but after hammering the old one, it came off and easy to replace for the new one and put everything back. Good luck!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I actually did and forgot to put that in the video. Be careful though, my reservoir was topped off and ended up making a little mess when I pushed the pistons back in. Thanks again and hope the video was able to help out.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You will very rarely have to bleed the brakes when changing the pads or rotors. It's a sealed system, so as long as you don't introduce air into the lines, you should be fine.
Hey Chris thanks for watching the video. Mine had no problem at all coming off once the bolts were out. May be a dumb question, but is the parking brake on? I haven't put the car into service mode at all to change the brakes and haven't had a problem either time. Putting it into service mode will let you compress the piston as opposed to turning it though. Hope it was a simple problem and you already have figured it out, but if not get back with me and I'll see if I can help. Thanks again!
I was able to get the Caliper off pretty easy...but only after putting it inot service mode. Unfortunately, I appear to have broken the piston. In playing around with this whole service mode thing I ended up having the piston extend all the way out. it is now loose and appears to have come off the threaded rod inside...and a little fluid leaked when I was playing with it. I obviously misunderstood other videos I wateched where it looked like they were saying you MUST put the car parking brake in service mode change the brakes/rotor. I'll be buying a new caliper in the morning! @@RSWarriorBryan
Haha! The car never made it that far. We did turn the rotors, but it was totalled out shortly after. Never got to use it to make another video. 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting!
Wrong,wrong,wrong! You set transmission to N and step on gas push e-brake down ,key turn on and of and on in 5 second , car will switch into service mode. After 30 second you and use finger push piston back to install pad . After you finish lift e-brake up key on off on to switch car back to drive mode . That is done.
Curious how anyone can praise this video or learn anything from it. The camera angle and lighting were absolutely awful, couldn't see anything but a rotor and a shoulder. Feel like I could've learned just as much by READING how to do this. 🤷♂️
@@RSWarriorBryan because I DIDN'T have it figured out. I know nothing about cars. But I DO know PLENTY about recording and creating videos, angles, lighting, etc... Hence my comment. In simple english since you obviously can't break down a sentence to derive it's meaning... "Wow, you really know what you are doing with that car there, too bad I couldn't learn from you since you were blocking 75% of what you were "showing"." Update: I found a better video and was able to get the job done (after manufacturing my own break caliper rewind tool because I also happen to know about manufacturing, just not cars) Gotta love those keyboard warriors that just think they know people. 😂
@@RSWarriorBryan oh wow... I just realized that it was the actual content creator himself that replied. 😅 Real good way to take constructive criticism bro. 😂 I wonder if I could make more as a streamer by berating any viewer that has a problem with my content?🤔😂😂🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WHEN DOING REAR BRAKES ON FORD FUSION THAT HAS EPB
FIRST STEP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING (TAKING OFF THE TIRE OR LIFTING IT) ,IS TO PUT THE CAR IN MAINTENCE MODE (10 SECOND PROCEDURE)...THEN THE STEPS IN VIDEO ABOVE WILL APPLY...BUT ALSO WHEN CAR IS IN MAINTENCE MODE U CAN USE JUST A REGULAR PISTON CALIPER COMPRESSOR TO PUSH PISTON IN REAR AS YOU WOULD THE FRONT BRAKES , NO TWISTING REQUIRED (WHEN DOING STEPS BELOW YOU WILL HEAR EPB MOTOR RETRACT OR CONTRACT WHEN STARTING OR FINISHING MAINTENCE MODE PROCEDURE
MAINTENCE MODE:
TURN KEY ON
PUSH GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR
PUSH EPB BUTTON DOWN AT THE SAME TIME
TURN KEY OFF AND ON WITHIN 5 SECS...NOW UR IN MAINTENCE MODE
TURN KEY OFF DO YOUR REPAIRS
THEN WHEN DONE
DO THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE BUT INSTEAD OF HOLDING EPB BUTTON DOWN U NOW HOLD UP...U WILL SEEE MAINTENCE MODE DISSAPEAR FROM DASH
What’s EPB?
Electric parking brake?
@@cruz7391 yes (E)lectronic (P)arking (B)rake.
No need to put the car in neutral when going into epb mode? Saw it in another video
How do I do service mode with factory installed push button start? Theres no key.
Use high quality grease, and a dab of loctite on the threads doesn't hurt. I have seen calipers just ''fall'' off at 35mph (not my work) Remember - you're driving the car sometimes with your kids in it!

Hello yeah, as it is you need to remove 10 10mm bolts to even get access to the fuckin drainage bolt for the oil change
All car manufacturers do!! I have a 2015 Dodge Charger,,, Gotta tear 1/2 the engine apart to change the 2,4,&6 spark plugs!!
Man, you are good :)

I just subscribed. This is the 7th or 8th video I have watched and it is by far the best one yet. Great video man.
You have to put car in maintenance mode, then piston can be pushed in instead of turning.
how to access maintenance mode?

Great video thank you. This is my First time changing brakes and rotors. I will doit tommrow! Ima put my car in maintenance mode though.
Thanks for watching! Hope the video was able to help get you through the rest of the steps besides putting it in maintenance mode.
@@RSWarriorBryan very helpful video bro. I gotta do the front now!
Haha. Never got that far myself. The car was totaled out shortly after that video was made. Hopefully your front go nice and easy!

Actual removal of the Caliper is a very important step and you just jumped right over it! Not cool.
...as well as properly hanging it out of the way with something so that it's not hanging from it's own weight at the end of the brake line, which can compromise the brake line.
Are these the same as the 2018 fusion hybrid s rear brakes thank you
Why not just take the caliper off with the bracket,and save time?Unless your going to grease the sliders?
Can't turn the rotors on a 2013-16 ford fusion have to buy new 1s the rotors are too thin for a shop to turn them.
Auto manufacturers don't want that extra weight of thicker rotors so they can boast a little more fuel mileage!
is there a spot marked for the jack stands?
Hey so what are those rear disc and front disc measurements 300mm and 302mm?
Great video I’m jump on mines tomorrow on my 15 fusion
Roughly how much should it cost for all 4 tires for brakes rotors and pads?
New rotors and ceramic brakes 200-300 if done yourself
If I am just changing the rotor do I have to remove that spring clip or worry about turning the caliper piston back in?
Thanks for watching! Yeah, you'll have to take everything apart to get the rotor off, unfortunately. You may be able to get away without turning the caliper piston back in, but you can use a set of needle nose pliers also, if you don't want to purchase a separate tool. Hope the video was able to help. Thanks again!
Do you need a piston disc break remover ?
Not necessarily. You can take a set of needle nose pliers and stick them in the two holes and twist that way. I just always look for reasons to get more tools. 🤣 hope that helps!
Did u bleed system ?

Did you ever find a video on this car i have the same one 2017 ford fusion s
@@cruzsolis13 no I didn’t find a video but the one over here is the same thing. Pretty straightforward process, not difficult, just a little bit hard to remove the rotor but after hammering the old one, it came off and easy to replace for the new one and put everything back.

I actually did and forgot to put that in the video. Be careful though, my reservoir was topped off and ended up making a little mess when I pushed the pistons back in.
Thanks again and hope the video was able to help out.
@@RSWarriorBryan my pistons won't regulate between rear (new) & front (old). What should I do???
How do you compress back in while in Maintenance Mode? My first rear break job.
Doing mine now. In maintenance made you can almost do it by hand. I used a c clamp
Great video, thanks
Thanks, a lifesaver
Did you bleed the brakes or does that not need to be done?
Thanks for watching and commenting. You will very rarely have to bleed the brakes when changing the pads or rotors. It's a sealed system, so as long as you don't introduce air into the lines, you should be fine.
bolts are out and we can't get the caliper and bracket off! Does it have to do with the parking brake not being in maintenance mode?
