My sister has a 01 HD F-150 2wd. She wants me to do a brake job on it. I am very capable but I do not work on cars. No offense it is a relative term. If it does not have hydrostatic drive or air brakes I pretty much do not work on them. My questions are
1. What special tools are needed to do the brakes?
i.e.; allen/ torx wrenches, caliper piston retraction tool, etc.
2. Does this truck have 4 wheel ABS?
3. Is there any other special procedure needed to do the job right?
Thanks a lot, Gregg

 

I just replaced my rotors & pads on the lightning yesterday..
You'll need a T45 bit for the front calipers, and a caliper compression tool is helpful. Other than that, just basic hand tools.


Hope this helps!
