- 1). Raise the F150 on either the front or rear end and support it on jack stands. Remove the wheel for the brake disc that needs replacing.
- 2). Unbolt and remove the brake caliper with a wrench and make sure the caliper doesn't hang by its hose (hanging it with a strong wire is best). If you are working on a front wheel/disc, unbolt and remove the caliper mounting bracket from the disc.
- 3). Remove the grease cap, wheel bearing and spindle nuts and the outer wheel bearing with its washer; all this is only needed for a front disc on a two-wheel drive model.
- 4). Slip the brake rotor off of the axle studs.
- 5). Slip the new brake rotor onto the axle studs. It may help to temporarily thread the wheel's lug nuts onto a few of the studs to hold the rotor in place.
- 6). Reconnect the grease cap, wheel bearing and spindle nuts, outer wheel bearing with its washer and caliper mounting bracket if you have changed a 2WD front disc. Reconnect the brake caliper with its bolts.
- 7). Remove the lug nuts from the rotor if you placed them there, then reconnect the wheel and lower the truck.
