Ford Dealer inspected brakes, said rear pads are worn to 1mm and rotors will need replacing, quoted 500$ job for both rear brakes. So I said I will do it myself cost, 250$. When taking caliper and pads off I discovered the pads had uneven wear and one of the caliper pins was not moving, after hours of struggle and cleaner I got the pin free, which was rusted in place. I completed job and continued to other side, and it so happens the exact same pin is rusted in place ( the upper Pin), not able to remove it. I have to buy a new bracket and pins. I will replace the other side as well. Now I wonder if the fronts are doing the same??
