If you have to come here to ask, you might want to reconsider having a professional do the job. Going is optional, stopping is not.

Here is a good video that will help you do the job right.

Buying a Haynes, or Chilton manual will give you all the specifics.

Look for a Utube video on doing a brake job on your year F250.
