#19 of 28 Re: Rear Brake Squealing [natrbrazell] by bennyj2 May 21, 2009 (4:53 am)
Replying to: natrbrazell (Aug 27, 2007 1:11 pm) Same problem on my 2003. Replaced front and rear rotors, pads and parking brake shoes. All preninum parts, ceramic pads. Rear shoes started squeeking after 6 months. Upon examination I found cracks in front pads and sharp edges on rear pads. Replaced with less expensive pads, same breaking response but no squeek. Also be cautious. On my 2002 and 2003 Explorer, parking brake shoes become delaminated. Shoe comes apart from base.

Replying to: diamonds1 (May 31, 2009 9:45 am) Had same problem with my brothers explorer due to rust also. spray wd-40 around all studs outer side and inner. let stand for about 15 minutes and then use a small block of wood and a good size hammer/handheld 4lb sledgehammer and tap from the backside of the rotor towards you moving the wood around the rotor about 2 inches at a time and it should start walking off the studs. if you have a new rotor and dont intent on getting the old one resurfaced then dont worry about the wood block, just give it a few hard blows and it will walk right off. good luck and hope this helped.

#24 of 28 2003 Ford Explorer brake pedal squeak by bigcufan Jul 02, 2009 (1:13 pm)
The brake pedal on my 2003 Ford Explorer makes a really loud squeak each time the pedal is depressed and released?
#25 of 28 Noise when pressing brake pedal. by sportracdad Jul 24, 2009 (7:14 pm)
When I press the brake pedal, it often has a popping sound or kind of like a rubber gasket somewhere that needs some type of spray applied to make it stop making a noise but I don't know how to get to where the noise is coming from. Has anyone else noticed this problem on a 2001 Sport Trac?
#26 of 28 Brake ? for 07 Explorer by sufferin1 Jul 29, 2009 (8:49 am)
07 Explorer (lease). 20k on it. Frt. brakes pulse. My question is; the frt. rotors, do they pop right off after I remove caliper or do I need to disassemble hub assy as well?
#27 of 28 02 Explorer Brake Line Failure (design flaw?) by mikeesva Aug 09, 2009 (5:22 am)
I just experience an brake line failure. Right rear. 75K miles on the vehicle. It wasn't a line rupture. No signs of overpressurization (bulges). The tube broke at the joint where the tubing meets the connecting tab to the brake cylinder. I don't remember hitting any chuck hole. ( I'm thinking the rubber tubing is for wheel travel)   Has anybody experience similar problem or there might be a service bulletin on this?
#28 of 28 Brake performance question by rcf8000 Sep 12, 2009 (10:12 am)
I just rented an Explorer for a week from Hertz, and I'm concerned about the brake performance. The brake pedal is firm, but the braking distances and required pedal pressure are much greater than I'm used to. (My daily driver is a Lexus RX350) Is this normal?
