New front brakes today

[Bill Ellis]

My '04 Trac has 60,900 miles on it so figured it was about time to change front brakes before they wore down to point of damaging rotors. Now these Ford brakes are, by far, the easiest disc brakes I've ever changed. Took a lot longer jacking and rotating tires than it did to change the pads. What's interesting is that three of the OEM pads were still 0.2 inches thick. The inside, right pad was 0.15 thick. Still a lot of life left in them. But, better safe than sorry. The front rotors on the 2wd are not that easy to replace. Cross Terrain tires still have at least 10K of use left in them too. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Gonna be around for a long time

If the inside pad was worn more then the outside you have something sticking, Either the slides or caliper piston....
