D1083,D1012 Ceramic Brakes Pads Set Compatible With 2004-2008 Ford F-150,2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT

After 30 years of changing my own brake pads, rarely do I have any issues. Over the years I have dropped them, scraped them up, and generally manhandle them. I can be a little clumsy, lol.I use the 'ol pry bar and/or big 'ol screwdriver method to push the piston back in after brake pad changes. It's probably not the right way to do things, but I was taught by my father when young and I have always done it that way.The corners and edges of the outer pad broke off when I was applying enough force to push the piston back in. It wasn't such a substantial amount that I won't still use the brake pad, but it was more that I have ever seen come off after doing it for 30 years.

This brake pad kit includes everything necessary for a complete brake service on my 2005 F-150. The package comes with new clips ensuring the pads work smoothly when in use. This full set comes with just the parts needed and no instructions or pad grease so you will need to source them.The entire process took me about 15 minutes per side. After installation, it's crucial to perform the standard break-in procedure to ensure the pads seat well and don't wear down prematurely.The stopping power is impressive, and the annoying squeaking from the back brakes is gone. When towing my trailer, even when it's loaded to near maximum capacity, the brakes perform excellently, providing reliable stopping power.
