    Replacing Rear Rotor and Pads on 01' explorer sprort

    Also I had to remove two washer looking things on two of the lugs. They look like they're meant to go on and not come off. Needless two say both of them broke on the way off. I'm guessing it's necessary to replace these. Anyone know if most auto parts stores carry them or not?

    Replacing Rear Rotor and Pads on 01' explorer sprort

    Well I beat the rotor off with a hammer. I'm trying to get the new one on. It's not sliding on easy at all, lol. I'm trying to use brake cleaner as lube but I can no longer spray it where I need it. Now I'm beating it on with a rubber mallet (I'm not hitting the actual surface where the pads...

    Replacing Rear Rotor and Pads on 01' explorer sprort

    Hey guys, I've got my caliper off and my new pads in. I'm really confused about how to take the rotor off now. I guess the Inner disc acts as a drum for the emergency brakes? Is there any special way I should tackle removing these discs? I'm in the middle of this so any help at all asap would...

    Hey Joe, I replaced that part. I thought it was the same problem. However my truck is still stuck in park after I turn it on :( . Anyone have any ideas what else it could be?

    Brake lights won't work and I'm getting frustrated

    I has the same exact problem with my 01' sport. After many trial and error fixes on my part I took it to the dealership. Turned out it was a bad MFS. They replaced it and everything went back to working properly :) If I were to take a guess at what it would be I'd say the MFS. Seeing as how I...

    Replacing Rear Rotor and Pads on 01' explorer sprort

    I went and picked them up from an auto parts store close by. They had everything I needed in stock :) Does anyone have a repair manual or something they can look in real quick for me?

    Replacing Rear Rotor and Pads on 01' explorer sprort

    Can anyone tell me what tools (size socket's/etc.) I will need to complete this. I'm having to borrow them from my friend. Also Is there anything else I would need to complete this? I've already bought the replacement rotor, a set of brake pads, brake cleaner, and brake fluid. Also does anyone...

    01' Explorer Sport, will not shift from park

    http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?parttype=401&ptset=A&searchfor=Neutral+Safety%2fBackup+Switch I'm trying to find the right part online to replace it. I couldn't find the switch under Brake on/off or BOO. Is the Neutral/Safety Backup switch the same? Looks kind of the same in the...

    01' Explorer Sport, will not shift from park

    That may be it. This problem began when my lights went out about a year ago. The entire switch fell apart under my dash. I put it back together (at least I thought I did properly) and the brake lights started working again. I guess it's possible that I did not reassemble the switch back together...

    01' Explorer Sport, will not shift from park

    Hey guys, New to the forum. Tried looking through some of the pages to see if anyone else had this problem but it looks like I may be the only one. When going to start my car it starts completely normal. Only once it's started when I depress my brake and go to shift it from park to reverse or...
