Brake Job on 95 F53 ***Update***

I fought brakes on my 97 constantly. As stated, lube pins and replace hoses.

It the main thing I learned that made the biggest difference was to learn to drive like I didn’t have brakes.

Leave a big gap in stop and go traffic so you didn’t use the brakes. Drop it into 2nd and let the engine slow you down. Go down steep grades in 2nd. Etc.

On a F53 460 there is no such thing as do it once on a brake job. You'll find out they need constant maintenance.

More then likely you already have new calipers on the rig that old, and the slide pins need to be cleaned and lubed. I'm sure the thing about the hoses is very possible, I see it quoted on the forum all the time. I just never ran into anyone in life on the road that had that problem.

What you'll learn is if the calipers are good, then the pins are sticking. They need to be cleaned and lubed every other year or more.

The brake fluid is also an issue and should be changed every other year or more. It's just the nature of that beast.

x2 on the hoses, and the rest is up to the inspector.

If you change the two front rubber hoses, be sure to replace the one rear rubber brake line as well. Just because your calipers are sticking does not mean they need to be changed. Just clean up the slide surfaces and apply brake lubricant, which can handle the high temps.

At 20+ years old and sticking calipers... consider new/rebuilt calipers and new hoses all around.

A common problem is to have the brake hoses going from frame to caliper fail internally and then act like a check valve and not release pressure causing dragging.
Also the calipers float on the brackets and get corroded and drag.
It's not that hard to change, find a utube video and go to it.
