Chad's is good, but I found this to be even better when I did mine. Be sure to use flare nut wrenches!!! Those suckers will need to be tight or it will leak. Best of luck.

Always make sure its tight but not over tighten. I had a small leak 6 months after my cobra brakes were installed. I had brake fluid spill on a 1/4 of the caliper making the powder coating bubble. The crush washers were junk and had to be replaced. Follow the steps and you should be set.

Not really important here, but Ford calipers are all painted, not powdercoated. Powdercoating is ceramic, which is an insulator. Last thing you want to do on a brake caliper is keep the heat inside.
