I watched this about 3 times in a row before I attempted to try swapping out the pads on my own 2010 Edge and everything on my car was as shown in this video. I did the driver's side first which took me about 45 minutes as I figured out where everything was. After that, the passenger side took all of fifteen minutes. Thank you for providing this helpful video!
Spent 3 - 4 times too many taking wheels off and 're-doing brakes, making sure I didn't miss anything, before I saw your video. I can't thank you enough - this saved my a_ _! Thank you, thank you, thank you! From now on I check your videos before I do any work on my F150
Great video, I did too suspect a sticking caliper based on uneven wear on rotor. I also lube the new slides where the pads sit it for better float or movement. Otherwise, great video!
When I did that I replaced both the calipers and the brackets, they are cheap enough. You can then take the pistons out, clean the calipers, and replace the rubber gaskets with new ones. Thus you have the parts ready for the next time you service the brakes.
I have a strange issue. 2007 ford edge sel. a couple times spead out over a couple weeks I have had the ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND WRENCH LIGHTS COME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I checked tone rings, and bearings, all checks out ok. No cracked tone ring and no sloppy or noisy bearings. I cleaned the ABS sensors with brake clean thinking there may be dirt. I checked DTC's but there are no stored codes. I am thinking it is a bad Wheel speed sensor. My thoughts are ABS light comes on to idicate wheel speed sensor, Traction control light goes on because its turned off because of wheel speed sensor. Wrench light goes on because there must be a loss of communication of a wheel speed sensor. Have you ever come across this issue and what do you recommend for the fix. The lights have not come on for a few weeks now, but want to change what needs to be to prevent any further issues.
I just replaced my front pads, I did everything right. I test drive it, but when I come to a complete stop it had a short delay, is that normal? Please help me!! Thanks your video helps. I appreciate it
I just bought one of these MKX's and someone ignorant to brakes put the pads on backwards. The owner had to have the rotors fixed. I happen to feel a bit of grabbing when braking, hopefully it will not cause any trouble.
Thanks for the excellent video, changed front and back pads on 2011 lincoln mkx, works great however I have issue with the parking brake limited braking with the pedal all the way. Is there any adjustment tightening the cable? I would appreciate any advise, thanks again.
My rear right rotor keeps on heating up and getting a burnt smell. I changed the rotors twice within a year. Dealer said there is no problem with calipers. What is causing that?
Hi there! Hope you can help me. I got new front pads and rotors on my 2010 Edge as of a month ago but there is an awful high-pitch squeeling when I first pull out of my garage in the morning. Low speed, in reverse, little pressure on the brakes - the kind of brake pressure needed to back out of a driveway safely. The awful noise always goes away once the brakes have warmed up or if I apply more brake pressure when backing out. Any idea on how to make this noise go away? Do you think it's just from sitting overnight and I have to deal with it? I sure hope not - it's a few seconds of horrible! Thanks! :)
Hey thxs for all the great videos. Do you have any more vids / feedback on some of the newer Edge models? Especially interested in the 2.7 L engines and their transmissions. Thxs again.
+Blackaboe replacing them is the only way nowadays especially with the pitting. I think the only ones we cut anymore are some of the older Taurus and crown Vic's.
+Anthony Filice No never any issues with that the clips are either coated or stainless steel so they stay clean and can move freely. I have always followed what Ford does from the factory even with my Loctite placement and never an issue.
Every time I look up pads and rotors for my 07 edge there are always 2 different size rotors I can choose from for front and rear. Any opinion on how I can figure this out without starting my brake job yet.
nice video I got a question were do I find the factory code for the door lock is it under the stereo all the way down close to the shifter I need to get the code for the key pad on the door just in case I lock the keys inside the car is a late 2009 mkx thanks
shouldn't have to at all, its already a vacuum system in the brake lines. I assume pushing the one piston back will only make the reservoir rise a little
Hi Brian just wondering on your thoughts on the 2012 edge limited awd. I just bought one with 70,000km. are there any issues or concerns you can tell me about. btw I have been a sub for a long time. your vids are awesome.
Use a small hose that fits bleeder, find a jug make small hole in lid that fits hose. Crack bleeder compress caliper pucks til fully compressed. Shut bleeder. I use peanut jug,with screw on lid

owner of a 2014 Edge & 94 F250. I always visit this site for maint. procedures, tips, & tricks. Has saved me thousands over the years
Swapped out the pads and rotors on our 2007 Ford Edge and your video made it a simple task. Thank you.
Fantastic video, would never have attempted my front brakes without this video and now I'm heading to do my rear brakes.
Installed StopTech brakes on our 2010 Ford Edge. Watched the video and your instruction made it simple. Thank you!

GREAT video. Clear step-by-step instructions.
You have to realize your the man 💯💪

Thank you! I'm helping my friend with his next week, wanted to make sure there wasn't anything too crazy different. Do you have a rear brake video?

Nice video. It made it easy.. then I went to do the rears (2011 Ford Edge)... Yikes.. Pain.. Do you have a video for the rear disc brakes as well ??
your videos are great and really informative. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for posting all of these great videos!
Thanks and welcome to the channel!

Do you have a maintenance plan I could follow? I have a 2013 Ford Edge. I can do basic PM but just need a guide on when my vehicle needs it.
Your videos have helped me out many times! Thank you!
My rear right rotor keeps on heating up and getting a burnt smell. I changed the rotors twice within a year. Dealer said there is no problem with calipers. What is causing that?
Just did this job on a '11 Edge last week.
Thanks you keep my edge and f150 going

Outstanding instructional video. Thank you!
Great teaching skills! Good explanations. How old is the video?
+Michel Seignette de Kérobert 2014 sometime
FordTechMakuLoco thank you for all your videos. What can you tell me about an odo data error dash display on a 2008 Ford Edge?
Hey thxs for all the great videos. Do you have any more vids / feedback on some of the newer Edge models? Especially interested in the 2.7 L engines and their transmissions. Thxs again.
Do you guys ever turn the rotors anymore, or always just replace them?
+Blackaboe replacing them is the only way nowadays especially with the pitting. I think the only ones we cut anymore are some of the older Taurus and crown Vic's.
Hi Brian, on this particular model, do we have to remove the cap from the brake fluid resovoir?
great video, when you push calipers back in do you open the bleed scews?
It's best but not absolutely necessary.
Hi Brian -
I noticed your not working from your own garage - are you working for a company again.
+Pete Moss No this is old footage from the dealer days I will never go back to working for someone else.
no silicone grease behind the hardware to prevent rust or on the ears of the pads? Thanks for your videos.
+peelman1506 Behind the hardware I didn't but I use anti seize now and I never use grease on the ears of the pads when anti rattle clips are used.
+FordTechMakuloco I am curious why you didn't use grease in between the pad and clip. have you ever had any seizing or noise issues with doing that
+Anthony Filice No never any issues with that the clips are either coated or stainless steel so they stay clean and can move freely. I have always followed what Ford does from the factory even with my Loctite placement and never an issue.
+FordTechMakuloco - What anti-seize do you prefer to use on brakes? Thanks for such detailed videos!
Under the anti rattle clips only I uses this one because I have it around for the spark plugs- amzn.to/1S0ZGJW
telling us the bolt head sizes is great
helps us get right to work with tools in hand
2007 Ford Edge trouble with the brake pedal in the interior
Awesome video dude, you rock !
Are the brakes on a 2016 Edge different from these?
Any video on the back breaks and rotors AWD Edge/MKX , thanks in advance .
+Fernando Santos No but they are pretty simple.
Wondering about how important it is to make sure notches on the rear piston face are lined up vertically with the top of the park brake housing.. ??
Great job as usual. Thanks.
Every time I look up pads and rotors for my 07 edge there are always 2 different size rotors I can choose from for front and rear. Any opinion on how I can figure this out without starting my brake job yet.
Yes, they are different. It caught me off guard.
Hi
nice video I got a question were do I find the factory code for the door lock is it under the stereo all the way down close to the shifter I need to get the code for the key pad on the door just in case I lock the keys inside the car is a late 2009 mkx thanks
+dany ordonez The code is on the side of the SJB interior fuse panel in the drivers kick panel area.
thanks a bunch I found the code it's right on the fuse box.
dealer could not help me I need your email so I can ask for something thanks
You should also have a credit card in your owners manual with the code on it
I had mine 5 months before I thought to look for it. Long story short last Sunday I had to call Geico and I found it and reset it for me to remember.
What’s the difference on the 2015’s?
i have ford edge 2011 the problem when i apply brake pedal its hard how can i fix
Is this the same on 2015 Ford Edge??
Good job explaining everything man ..... One thing you need to wear safety glasses
+Willson Hernandez I have tried in the past with horrible results. I still do for some jobs though no matter what.
FordTechMakuloco I know man I don't lake to wear glasses to but I try to
Thank you.
1:45 do we need to first remove the brake fluid reservoir cap?
shouldn't have to at all, its already a vacuum system in the brake lines. I assume pushing the one piston back will only make the reservoir rise a little
Good Video. Thanks
Hi Brian just wondering on your thoughts on the 2012 edge limited awd. I just bought one with 70,000km. are there any issues or concerns you can tell me about. btw I have been a sub for a long time. your vids are awesome.
Kaan Aya is this just on a AWD Edge? We recently bought a used 2016 Edge self with just FWD.
Never ever compress old brake fluid back through system. Always catch it as you compress pistons
PJ Figueira How do you catch the old fluid?
Use a small hose that fits bleeder, find a jug make small hole in lid that fits hose. Crack bleeder compress caliper pucks til fully compressed. Shut bleeder. I use peanut jug,with screw on lid
PJ Figueira Thank you!
Someone mounted at least two tires during this video
+CamperMike Yup
for some reason thos clamps are called F-clamps and or bar clamps
+70carlton Bar clamps are different and much thicker.
Thanks Again for a great video .
thank you
