🔧 Expedition - Rear Brake Pad Replacement

Your Expedition’s rear pads can be replaced at home, but the exact procedure depends on whether your rear calipers use an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) motor and which rear brake package you have. That affects the required “service mode” steps and the correct torque specs.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate | Estimated Time: 1.5-3.0 hours

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• ⚠️ Work on a flat surface and support the rear with jack stands before removing any wheel.
• ⚠️ Do not press the brake pedal with a caliper removed.
• ⚠️ If your Expedition has EPB, you typically must retract it into service mode before pushing the piston back, or you can damage the caliper/EPB motor.

📋 Before You Begin

• Confirm whether your Expedition has an EPB (parking brake button/switch). If it does, plan to put it in service mode (scan tool procedure) before compressing the rear pistons.

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Before I give you the exact Ford-correct steps (including EPB service mode + torque specs), answer these 2 quick questions:

• 1) Does your Expedition have an electronic parking brake button (not a foot pedal)?
• 2) Are you doing pads only, or pads + rear rotors?

Reply with those two answers and I’ll post the complete, exact procedure in the correct order.

✅ After Repair

• After installation, you’ll need to pump the brake pedal to seat the pads, then verify EPB operation (if equipped) and road-test safely.
