Our detailed video and instructions demonstrate a complete brake job performed on a 2012 Ford F-150 XLT, and the replacement procedures will be similar on most Ford F-150 models from 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Signs that your truck needs a complete brake repair include hearing a squealing or grinding noise when braking, or if you notice your wheels or steering shaking while applying the brakes.

The brake pads and rotors on your 2009 to 2014 Ford F-150 help slow your truck down when you apply the brakes. As the brake pedal is depressed, the brake pads are pushed into the surface of the rotors, which slows the wheels or prevents them from turning to stop your Ford. Grinding or squealing sounds when braking or vibrations felt in the brake pedal are signs that your truck needs a complete brake job, including new brake pads, hardware, and rotors. It’s recommended that you replace your Ford F-150’s brake pads and rotors at the same time, since they have likely been exposed to the same amount of use and wear out at the same interval. Failing brake pads and rotors can affect braking distance and cause poor or unsafe handling in your Ford F-150 that could put you and others in danger. Our helpful, step-by-step video and instructions can help you perform a complete brake job on your 2009 to 2014 Ford F-150.

Park on a level surface.
If your model has a cap over the hubs, remove it… and use a 14mm socket and breaker bar to loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels.
Lift and support the front end of the truck… and chock the rear wheels.
Remove the lug nuts completely from the front wheels… and take off the wheel where you’ll be working first.
Turn the steering wheel to give you better access to the caliper.
Use a 13mm socket to remove the two caliper mounting bolts.
Pull the caliper off… and hang it with your caliper hanger, making sure to keep pressure off the brake
line. Now you should be able to take the old pads out of the mounting bracket… and remove the four clips.
Use your 21mm socket and a breaker bar to loosen the two caliper bracket mounting bolts… and
remove them. Set your mounting bracket aside for now.
Remove the rotor from the hub. Since you’re replacing the rotor, it’s ok to use a hammer to break it loose if needed.
Never hammer a rotor you plan to continue using.
Use a wire brush to clean any rust off the face of the hub.
Once clean, apply some of your 100% silicone grease to the hub before installing the new rotor.
