Ford F-150 2WD 1999 – 2002 Installation Instructions PDF Manual


Spacers Wheel Spacers Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required.

Caliper, Hat Bracket Finish Disclaimer Caliper, Hat and Bracket Finish Disclaimer Many wheel-cleaning solutions contain strong acids that may damage the finish on any caliper or aluminum anodized finish, especially the plating on the hardware. Check for adverse effects by trying a small amount of the cleaner in question on an inconspicuous area. Avoid over-spraying, and rinse cleaning solutions off as quickly as possible. StopTech is not liable for damage to calipers, hats or bracket finishes, due to corrosive chemical exposure.

Noise Brake Noise Certain brake pad compounds make more noise than others. Proper anti-squeal shim plates between the caliper pistons and backing plate of the pad help to reduce the problem. Anti-squeal lubricants are also available, to reduce some of the noise. The reality is that performance pads are more prone to brake squeal.

Hub/Bearing Disassembly and Reassembly Upgrading the brakes on the Ford F-150/Expedition 2WD requires the installation of a new hub, to
replace the stock rotor/hub assembly. This process involves removing the inner and outer bearing assemblies from the stock hub, then reinstalling them in the new one.

The instructions given in this manual provide general guidelines only, and reference should be made to the factory installation manual, or to similar documentation for Ford F-150 2WD. For anyone who is not experienced in performing these operations, StopTech firmly recommends seeking the services of a trained professional.

Cleaning of Rotors The AeroRotors supplied with this kit are coated with a water-soluble, environmentally friendly rust inhibitor. This coating MUST BE WASHED OFF WITH SOAP AND WATER before installation. Brake cleaner is not as effective as soap and water. Even if it doesn’t look as if anything is coming off the rotor, the rust inhibitor is there, and must be entirely cleaned. Rotors will quickly rust without protection, so if the rotor is not rusty, it’s still coated. After cleaning, you may see the rotor start to develop a slight rust color. This is normal, and indicates that all of the rust inhibitor has been removed.
