2001 SuperCrew f150 Brake Pads
Having changed them for the 1st time just now, I thought I'd place a simple how to like the one I looked for here before I started~
This is for the guys looking from this point forth
As referenced in other threads, remove the upper & lower [18mm bolts] to free the caplier - someone here said just back out the top one & swing it down - that didn't work for me
I did not mention the obvious cleaning, lubrication, clamp inspection/replacement, break line twist, tork, etc. This is interpretive common sense.

- Slide out the caplier housing, remove the old pads
- Use a C-clamp (4 inch) to compress the pistons
- Snap in new pads beginning with the one farthest from you -
- Clip them in by pushing DOWN on the spring loaded area and then pushing the top half in.
- Slip the caplier w/ new pads back onto the rotor from the bottom up, inserting the lower bolt 1st - this was easier for me
- Tighten up, replace your wheel, cap & you saved 100 bucks or more depending on the pads you choose.
