I really enjoyed your videos on replacing my rear and front rotors and pads on my 2013 F150. The videos were concise, to the point with no fluff. They were easy to play and pause as I went along. However, I have disagree with the 55 foot pounds of torque on the 13 mm bolts on the front caliper pins. I used my torque wrench and the bolt and the bolt stripped at 45+ pounds. What a mess. I had to cut the bolt out with an angel grinder and buy more pins and boots. I can’t find one single Google review, Reddit thread or TH-cam video that says to tighten those caliper pin bolts past 20-30 foot points of torque max.

Caliper pins should be torqued to 27ft/lb not 55
my 2014 did not have springs from the factory
