Where did you get it? I have the stupid block tool which is a PITA.

Same tool you can get from advanced autos it turns the piston and compresses it at the same time, works great!

I bought the kit from amazon.com for $39. Includes about 8 or so adaptors.

I was going to do my brakes this weekend but all i have is that block. Is it really a pita to use on Fords?

Fronts ok. The rears you have to compress and turn at the same time. Good fucking luck without the tool. Or get your buddy behind you reaching around you to turn while you compress....all close and sweaty .....good times

Im just doing the fronts. Is it just a compression type caliper?

 

[scramblr]

The fronts are easy, you don't need any special tools. It's the rears that are a PITA because you have to turn and compress at the same time and doing it whle the caliper is attached to the brake line is a bitch.

ok cool.

Fronts are standard type. I took the time to touch up the red paint on my calipers. Now they look and feel new.
