How do you change the breaks on a 1999 ford f150??

I have a 1999 f150 with 4wheel disc breaks. I want to replace front and back breaks. do I collapse the cylinders the same in the back as in the front? is the back done the same as the front?(I have done the front before but not the back).How do you change the breaks on a 1999 ford f150??
To replace the rear brake pads and rotors on this particular vehicle is relatively simple. The only wrench size you need, is a 10mm wrench to undo the two caliper bolts on each side. Once that is done, simply compress the caliper piston with a screwdriver wedged between the inboard brake pad and the rotor, and pull the screwdriver OUTWARD (toward the outer side of the vehicle). Once this is done, the caliper can be removed from the bracket. The rear brake rotors on these trucks can be tricky to remove if the parking brake shoes are seized up, preventing brake rotor removal. Be sure to verify that the parking brake lever on the back side of the backing plate is released ALL THE WAY. Now tap on the back side of the brake rotor until it's free from the axle flange (the brake rotor may have to be smashed into pieces before it dislodges from the hub if it's seized onto it pretty good). From there, installation is pretty straightforward if you already possess the knowledge of how to replace the front brakes. Hope this helps.How do you change the breaks on a 1999 ford f150??
Doll if you don't even know the diff between ';breaks'; which means busted and brakes which are what's on a car then where did you go to school?
bring it to me and i can help you with your brakes i have a shop in weyerhaeuser wi and i do stuff like that all the time i've been a mechanic for about 20 years and now i'm in a wheel chair and i use my shop as a you fix it shop and i suply the tools and knowlege
Hey dude,. It's mechanics, not English. Rear Disks are very much like front disks. Yes you compress the cylinder with a big ';C'; clamp so you can put new shoes on. Be sure everything moves freely. If you do all 4 you will probably push Brake fluid out of the reservoir, and all over. Don't compress all 4 at once. Seat the first two before you compress the cylinders on the second two.
The rear disks require a tool to drive the piston back- its a cheap adapter you buy at an auto parts store- goes on a ratchet and you tighten it back down.



If you have done the front you can pull this off.
Disc brakes are disc brakes they work the same only difference is the back will have the parking brake on it to.
yes ,it done the same way,,,i found it best to buy are borrol a large c,, clamp to collapse the cylinder,some of the f150, has pin to hald the cylinder, in ,, you need a hamber an a punch to remove it,,,while some does have a bolt to hold it in,,,,but on most of the newer truck it be 2 pin ,good luck
