Ford F-150 Rear Brake Rotor Removal Instructions

Removing a rear brake rotor on a Ford F-150 is almost the same process as for the front brakes, with the primary difference being where the caliper is located on the wheel. Removing the rotor is an easy process and will take even an inexperienced person only about a half hour to get it done. If you find that your rotor has been worn too thin, or is severely damaged because of the brake pads cutting grooves into them, then they will need to be replaced.

Instructions

1

Park the truck on a level surface and place the wheel chocks in front of the front wheels.

2

Jack the truck up on the side that you are going to be working on and place a jack stand under the frame near the jacking point. Raise it as close as you can to the frame.

3

Remove the wheel using the lug wrench.

4

Remove the brake caliper by removing the guide pins, using the proper size wrench.

5

Secure the caliper to the frame of the truck, using wire ties.

6

Remove the rotor by pulling it off the lug nuts. If it is difficult to move, hit it on the side with the rubber mallet until it releases from the lugs.
