wb6vpm Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Had to do the rear brakes on the companies 2013 Transit Connect last night... What a disaster! Why couldn't Ford just use normal spring pins instead of making me fight to get all of the springs connected between the shoes?!?! Granted, bad lighting in my garage probably didn't help ?. I discovered this morning that I need to pull the tires back off and readjust them, I thought I had gotten them adjusted properly until I pulled the e-brake, LOL! (either that or one of the cables came off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Good job! Caught the error before the van got on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidparker Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Well, I guess the good news is you probably will never have to change them again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not, but I'm only at ~71K, so (assuming van doesn't fall apart, or company gets tired of doing maintenance/repairs on the van) we'll see...

wb6vpm Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Also, discovered why the e-brake (and rear brakes in general) stopped working a bit after I got done working on them, the self-adjuster failed. Appears to have been a manufacturing defect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
