      Justin: If the rear brakes on your 2004 and newer F-150 are completely toast, well, then it's time to start considering a replacement or even an upgrade like the Power Stop Z36 Truck & Tow Pad and Rotor Kit that we have here today. Now this kit will include a brand new set of slotted and drilled rotors, along with a new set of the heavy-duty carbon ceramic pads, all for right around 200 bucks for the setup. Now the installation, according to the site, is good enough to achieve a middle of the road two out of three wrenches on the old difficulty meter here and about two hours or so to complete from start to finish.So when upgrading the brakes on your rig, you do have a few different options to consider, either go to your local parts store for a factory style replacement, which will no doubt be the most affordable. The next step would be to check out a set of aftermarket pads and rotors like the Power Stop kit we're talking about here today while still maintaining some of your factory components like the lines and also your factory calipers. Now your third and final option is no doubt the most costly, and that will be a complete hardware upgrade from one of the big brake manufacturers out there such as Wilwood or Brembo.But with that out of the way, let's break down what you are getting from this kit here from Power Stop, pun intended. And the foundation of this kit is gonna be the company's cross-drilled and slotted G3000 cast iron rotors which have been finished off in a bright silver zinc coating to resist any rust on non-friction surfaces, so basically your top hats and so forth. Now the slotted and drilled design is done so to help with cooling, of course, which in turn should help reduce fade, especially when these puppies are working pretty hard to haul down a heavy load coming to a complete stop. Now plus, as an added bonus, they look pretty cool, right? I think that's always one of the big perks of upgrading to a rotor like this, and it's certainly worth mentioning here.Now the second part of the equation here is gonna be the Z36 heavy-duty carbon ceramic pads. The Z36 is a unique pad and compound built specifically for heavy-duty truck and SUV use. And when combined with the included rotors here is gonna result in a 20% increase in stopping power, according to the gang over at Power Stop. Now along with a little bit more initial bite, that compound will be more resistant to heat, and, again, it's gonna be huge when you're hauling or towing something heavy as these things are designed to get worked a little bit harder than normal. And that's very important to point out, because even if you've upgraded the size or diameter of your wheels, that's something that can also affect your braking as well, as those are typically a bit heavier than your factory wheels and tires. So, again, with that in mind, these are certainly gonna be an upgrade for truck owners who just do a lot of towing, a lot of hauling, or maybe just want a little bit more bite with a heavier set of aftermarket wheels and tires.Now Power Stop's Z36 compound does consist predominately of that ceramic build, but it does have some carbon fiber baked in to strengthen the compound and add a little bit more of that additional bite that we just talked about. Now, Power Stop does claim that this will be a low-dust, low-noise formula. But to be fair, I would expect a slight increase in dust over a factory style 100% ceramic pad. However, despite the minor increase in dust, the pads themselves should be relatively noise-free during operation.Now, as far as your installation is concerned, well, pads and rotors, I would say, is one of those basics of automotive wrenching, but since there is a healthy dose of elbow grease involved here, the site is gonna knock things up to a two out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter and call this one at least a couple of hours or so to complete from start to finish. But to give you a better idea of how things are gonna go down, check out our detailed walk-through and tool breakdown right now.Man: Tools used for this install are: a ratchet, flathead screwdriver, pliers, 10-millimeter wrench, 10-millimeter socket, T30 Torx, a small chisel, a brake caliper piston tool, some anti-seize lubricant, a hammer, and a file.So I've sprayed my nuts and bolts down with a little bit of rust penetrant, and I recommend that you guys do the same. The next thing we're gonna have to do here is remove the cover for this little cap here on the end of the bolt for the slider for the caliper. Gonna use my small flathead screwdriver. That's gonna expose a T30 Torx bit. You're gonna loosen up that T30 Torx bit and then unscrew this the rest of the way with a pair of pliers, otherwise your socket and your ratchet will get stuck in between the cap and the leaf spring. Now that I have that loosened up, I'm just gonna use a pair of pliers to spin it off the rest of the way. Now I can use a 10-millimeter socket to unbolt these pins and remove the caliper. So now that we have the pins pulled and slid back, we can actually remove our caliper by just applying a little bit of pressure down here at the bottom of it and flipping it up. And now we have access to get our rotor off.So there are a couple of different ways that you can attack this next step of the removal process, one of which is to use a hammer to hit here on the edge of hat to get the rotor to pop loose off of the hub. The other way, if you have a 10 by 1.5 bolt, you can screw it into either one of these two holes and use an impact gun or a ratchet and run the bolt in, which should push the hat off of the hub. So the kit provides you with new shims and hardware for the brake pads. Now if yours are in good shape, you can reuse them if you want if you clean them up a little bit. However, ours are a little beat up, we're gonna have to get these off. But there is some rust involved so I'm actually gonna use a little chisel and a little bit of tapping with the hammer to get these to pop off so I can install my new ones. And I'll make sure to clean up these surfaces before I install my new shims.So I used a file to clean up these surfaces right here where the new shims are going to rest. If you don't have a file, you can also use a wire brush. You really just wanna knock off the heavy rust particles. And then I'm gonna take a little bit of anti-seize and apply it to the metal surfaces before I put my shims in. I'll just give these a small tap with the hammer to seat them into place.Now I'm ready to remove my old brake pads from the caliper. I'm gonna use a flathead screwdriver just to give myself a little bit of leverage to pry these out of place. Just wanna be careful not to damage anything. Now I need to push the piston back in to make room for my new pads. I'm using a single-piston brake caliper tool to do this. However, if you do not have one of these, all you would need is an old brake pad and a C-clamp that you can get at any hardware store to push this piston back. And you're just gonna wanna push it until the piston itself is sitting flush with the body of the caliper. Make sure you push back slowly because you're pushing all of the fluid back into the master cylinder up at the front. And you also want to make sure that the boot for the piston doesn't get bound up or pinched in any way. Now you can go ahead and install your new pads. Now I'm just gonna set these out of the way so I can install my new rotor.So there are two things you're gonna wanna do before you install your new rotor into place. The first is take a can of Brakleen and to spray off the surfaces of the rotor to make sure you've cleaned off any oils that were there from packing and shipping. The other thing you're gonna wanna do is to adjust your e-brake shoes here on the back hub by spinning out this star wheel until these things are just barely touching the inside of the hat of the rotor. So just make sure that you use a little flathead screwdriver to adjust that wheel to where they're seated properly, and then you can throw this rotor into place.So now I'm just about ready to throw my caliper back into place on the vehicle. And at this point I just wanna make sure that all of my pistons and boots are moving freely, there's no damage and everything's well lubricated. In our case, everything here is good to go, so I'm just gonna go ahead and install this back on the vehicle. Now just tighten these down with a 10-millimeter socket and reinstall the cap.Now once you have everything buttoned up and back together, make sure you pump up your brake pedal, first things first, and then take it for a nice road test to get your pads seated into your new rotors. And that's gonna wrap up this review and install of the Power Stop Z36 Extreme Truck & Tow Rear Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for your six-lug 2004 to 2019 F-150. Thanks for watching.
