Brakes

I have a F-250 Super Duty 4 WD I am need to do the brakes on it have done disk brakes on other stuff but not on my Ford SD is there anything that I need to know that is different? I understand the emergency brake is inside on the real and it is a shoe. Just wondering if there are any things that I should be aware of thanks.

If you're looking for some good quality rotors, give ART a looksee. Not the cheapest, but I'm a happy customer.http://member.newsguy.com/~nutech/frames.html

whatever you do, i would not buy ford parts..... i am rather happy with NAPA's "best" option. yes, the e-brake is a shoe/drum stlye built into the inside of the rear rotors. the job itself is real easy, just BE SURE TO CORRECTLY TORQUE YOUR LUG NUTS!!! otherwise, you will soon be doing the job over. also, check your calipers to make sure they are still good, and clean off your slide pins and grease them to keep everything sliding good and not binding. goodluck !!!

Like mattd17 said, keeping everything really clean is important. But other than that there the easiest brakes I've ever changed

Open the bleeders and flush some new fluid through the system, always a good idea.
Some guy's open them when pushing the pistons back also.
