06 Explorer Brake Job

[MyFightingIrish]

I'm looking for step by step instructions for a pad/rotor brake job for all 4 wheels. I have done multiple brake jobs in my day, but this is my first Ford, so I don't want any surprises.



Does anyone know of a thread or video for this?

Any tips or instructions are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, here is a "HOW-TO: 2006 V8 4WD Rear Rotor/Pad Change" and a "HOW-TO: 2006 V8 4WD Front Rotor/Pad Change".

But also without that there will be no surprises.

btw, how many miles did you put on the Explorer before needing brakes?
