Which engine? Posts for the OHV, SOHC, and 5.0 searching "AC bypass".

Most posts I've read say around 71". Only guarantee is to try. Save the receipt and GL.

99 Ford Explorer Brakes

On average with the right tools how long would it take to replace the front ones both side? Also does anyone know which mm wrench to use to loosen the caliper off?
