Rear caliper swap - Diesel Forum

detroitfd · 02-21-2008, 09:18 PM

Anyone have a writeup on how to swap the entire caliper on the rears? Local auto parts stores have fully loaded calipers w/ the bracket, pads, and all hardware starting at $100. So I'm thinking for tha tprice it'd be easiest to just put 2 new loaded ones on. Any help is appreciated!

If you simply need new pads then why on earth would you want to replace the entire caliper?

On edit what's up with all these Excursion posts in the truck section?

Not really picking at you Ex guys, I'm all for helping a brother out in as much as we have in common, just wondering if since the Ex has been discontinued for what, three or four years now is it really getting that stale down there as far as posting response goes or what?

I think I'll probably need calipers because...ready....those old ones may be shot.

I would do more than pads if needed, I'm actually gonna take a look at what I'll need tomorrow. But considering FOMOCO is the only place to get the caliper BRACKET, and they charge $100 for that alone, it's smarter to have the piece of mind of new calipers, brackets, AND pads for $120.

And, the Excursion IS a Super Duty, so that's why we're posting here. It's on the F250 frame and shares just about all parts w/ 250 and 350... Plus, Excursions had the 7.3 AND 6.0 motors, so more specific info is available under the 7.3 forums. I suppose I could use the Ex forum for general stuff, but no moderators have complained thus far.

And yes, the SD forums get a lot more traffic as well.
