How do I perform Ford super-duty rear brake repair?

Answer by  WendyB (43)

Jack your car, remove the tire and you'll see the brake pad. Remove the caliper by unscrewing the two bolts and the pad will come off in your hand.

Jack up and remove the wheel. Look inside the drum for a small metal nipple on the brake line. Unscrew this nipple to drain brake fluid and release pressure on the calipers. Take brake drum off to access pads and springs.

If it is just the brakes and not the rotors or calipers, etc. , you can do it by ordering the right brake pads first. You will need to use a jack to lift one rear wheel and remove the wheel and tire. After that remove the old brake assembly and take out the used pads, replacing them with new ones.

Use a sledge hammer and a pry bar to remove the drums. Use diagonal cutters to unhook/hook the springs. Use the other wheel as a guide.
