2020 Ford Explorer XLT
Was checking out how much was left on my brake pads and to my surprise I found grease fittings on the front and rear calipers. My brain must be failing because I don't remember seeing these, and I've owned 5 different gens of Xs. Oh well, was wondering what they were there for and how much grease should I put in? I bought this 2020 XLT new about 5 years ago. I've put caliper grease on the pins before, just don't recall seeing these. Actually it might be near the caliper and not on it. Thanks

LOL, I hope you didn't try to put any grease in. That isn't a grease zerk, that's the caliper bleeder screw.

Of course. I knew I was right, but for the wrong reason. And I've bleed them before 🤣 Bad brain 🧠 🤣 Don't get old.
