Thanks man I was just changing the brakes on my wife's car and I actually just looked your video up to see if it was a closed system or if I had to bleed the brakes after and I had no idea that you had to get that special tool in order to push the piston back into the caliper.. So I would have been trying to do it with a regular clamp.
the rear was so hard to do on my 14’ sel i broke 3 c clamps completely bent them in half and they are big and metal this is absolutely ridiculous spent 6 hours doing it , first time the brakes were smoking and i had to completely take off the new ones and put old ones back on because they were too big and they fit this car, the other side is FINE. Car locked up and back end started skidding randomly . Never taken me more than 2 hours to do this using lubricant impact no luck.
Ever work on Ford 500? My ebrake doesnt work. I hear it click when i push pedal, but doesnt stop car. Inspector said its no good. Maybe seized? Or needs tighten? Or new pads? Dont know
I'm about to do my front brakes and rotors one 2014 taurus police interceptor. Just double checking but when I use a c clamp to push the caliper back I don't have to bleed the brakes right?
I’m having an issue with my brakes going to the floor and never opened the system. Just got done bleeding today and same thing, they still go to the floor. Do you think not lining those pistons up with the pads could cause this issue?
This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard of sitting here trying to figure out Why my piston won't go back in and find out about this bullshit piston.
Did this job today. It was a pleasure fighting the rusty bolts
Awesome! Practical and no BS at all. Loved it. Thanks.
Just did a rear pad change in my 2015. Excellent, helpful video!
Great video - accurate and concise! Only thing missing would be mentioning the torques settings when putting bolts and lug nuts on.
Taurus club of America is saying 24 for the caliper pins and 76 for the bracket bolts.

Thank you so much for making this video. I obviously have never done this and this will be helpful when I do my brakes
Glad it helped
Excellent job brother! I appreciate the info!
Thank you, God you and your Family🎉😂
This video is just what I was looking for! Saved me a lot of time and headache!
Nice how to video!
Dont forget everyone get some decent brake pads do not cheap out with cheap brakes or your taurus will squeel because of the material padding

Thanks Bro! Going to do this tomorrow!
Glad it helped
Always go with oem or the top of the line that way the cars quiet when its driving
The part number for the loaner brake tool is 57111 instead of 27111
Do u have to change roater when u do the brakes
I'm about to do my front brakes and rotors one 2014 taurus police interceptor. Just double checking but when I use a c clamp to push the caliper back I don't have to bleed the brakes right?
That is correct unless you open the brake bleeder valve or disconnect the brake hose
Hello I was wondering I have a 2013 and I am only doing the rear pads will I need to push in calipers?
I believe they need to twisted in
The caliper piston twist back in with a special tool NOT push back in with a C clamp.
What happens if the little nob on the pad doesnt go into the notch on the caliper piston?
Did you open the brake fluid reservoir before you started or was it closed the whole time? Thanks for the video!
It's a good idea to open it. It won't hurt anything.

It sounds like the master cylinder went bad
Brakes*
If the rotor doesn't move what do you do?
Is your emergency brake on
If the parking brake is not engaged, your caliper piston could be seized (new caliper).
Looks like you used anti seize not grease for lubricant
It's brake grease
Is dis d same as a 2012 SEL Ford Taurus
If it's the same body style yes
Same as lincoln mks
I’m having an issue with the rear calipers on my sho, the caliper WILL NOT twist back in no matter how much force I try and use
Hit with a mallet not a sledge bro
I hate twist in calipers. Only a lame company like Ford would still have this.
Another of manufacturers still use twist calipers
Chevy impala rear is twist in
