2011 F250 Front brake job

Hey guys, I just replaced my front brakes. I went with Hawks Superduty. Got them on amazon for like 50 bucks for the front and rear. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a hardware kit. I ordered a hardware kit... thinking it would be both front and rear. That was wrong, The front showed up not both. Oh well I went to auto zone and order the rear. Should be in tomorrow am. After I was done I took my truck for a test drive. No noise what so ever. Im sure ill get some brake dust. Ill report if I do. Heres some pics.






used a C clamp to compress the piston. went pretty easy.

I love doing my own brakes. One thing I've started to do is to drain about a 1/2 quart brake fluid from each caliper while pouring new fluid into the reservoir. I'm sure it's not the best way to replace brake fluid but it's easy, doesn't make much of a bleeding requirement, and the majority of my brake fluid gets replaced every 80,000 miles.
