F53 Brake Advice
I am looking to replace the brake system on our 1996 Dolphin 535 (Ford F53), as the pads are worn and have begun to gouge the rear rotors. Not to mention the entire system is old, so I want to replace...

Glad that it sounds like you have it figured out.

Did the entire other side today in about 4 hours. Went so much smoother knowing how it all goes together now and having the proper tools (and no broken bolts).
The tires on this side were the 2 remaining old tires. Although they look brand new they're 9 years old, so the wife is out getting new ones mounted now.
I also picked up calipers and pads for the front, so I'll be doing those tomorrow.
On a side note... I've heard much talk about simply replacing the pads with grooved rotors. I can tell you that's exactly what the previous owner did on this motorhome, and I don't think it worked too well. Although the pads were brand new, they were not performing very well at all against the old grooved rotor. Simply replacing one side I've noticed a significant difference, and I'm hoping an even more significant difference after completing this side.
