You can go to www.alldata.com or www.myford.com for information reguarding your F150, better yet take it to your local dealership for repair.
BUT if you don't know what you're doing and you're messing around with your stopping power then you had best take it to a trusted and certified technician that does know what he is doing before you get yourself and someone else seriously hurt.
The brake system is not one that you want to experiment with and what's the use in going fast when you can't stop?

first , front brakes are very easy to do yourself, take it to the shop and get riped off. go to the library and look up your truck for free , take a few pictures, you'll need a Allen wrench a jack and a C clamp , my 16 year old son does my brakes now ,you can do it , new rotors and new pads , there is no trick ,buy the shoes with life time grantee and after you wear them out , take them bake , get new ones free, save the receipt. do it , about 1 hour , back brakes a little more difficult !

There are distinctive techniques you will possibly be able to desire to try this reckoning on in case you have 2wd or four wheel force. four wheel force is extra handy to artwork on than 2wd. seeing as you have watched the youtube movies, you have a ordinary expertise as to what you will might desire to do. in case you have a 2wd device, you will might desire to get rid of the rotor and the wheel bearings. at the same time as this isnt overly no longer ordinary, that's slightly extra artwork. quite some movies on line to help you with how this works. four wheel force, while the rotor comes off as quickly as the caliper and the caliper bracket comes off. i think of that's a 13mm bolt that holds the caliper onto the bracket, and the bracket is secured to the knuckle by making use of 15mm bolts. (dont carry me to that, i'm a ranger proprietor no longer an F150 proprietor lol) The rear drum brakes are form of a discomfort, yet you ought to use pliers to get the pastime carried out...that's going to take longer. in case you desire to take a place interior the right procedures, there's no harm in it. i adjust my brakes myself, so i bought each thing i will might desire to artwork on my rangers. saves time and provides me some delight that I have been given to do it myself. I wont pass into the technique of removing the back brakes...it would take thank you to long and it does no longer be as complete as you will locate someplace else on the internet. purely take it slow, be sure you dont have any left over bolts or brackets, and be sure you no longer permit the caliper cling off the wear and tear strains. that's a rather straight forward pastime, which you're able to do. it would take you 4 hours, yet interior the tip in case you may get it carried out your self you would be happier with your self and so will your wallet lol.

Take Huck Finn's advise. A 4X4 is more complex vehicle. People's lives are compromised if repairs are completed correctly.
