Hi guys, John here with the RealTruck.com.
Today, I want to show you how to install the MGP Caliper Covers on this 2013 F150.
Okay guys, you can see here the kit comes with everything you need to get these on your
truck.
You have your front, and your rear caliper covers and you have your clips to attach them
with, and also your instruction sheet.
So let's get these on the truck.
Guys, we've got our truck lifted up into the air, we've taken our wheels off, so now it's
time to put our caliper covers on.
Really simple, easy process to do.
You have these clips that come in the bags marked for front, obviously they're the front
ones.
What we're going to do is we're going to take these, and we're just going to slide them
in, on top of our caliper brackets, just like that.
Now these are a little bit loose, so you're going to have to on the bottom one of course,
when you go to slide it on, it's not going to want to stay.
So what we're going to do is we're going to put the top on here like this, and once we
have that on, then we're going to take the bottom one and we're going to simply slide
it up on here, just like that.
Get those in place then we're going to take our
impact or our torque wrench rather and we're going to torque these nuts to 18-20 inch pounds
and that's what's going to hold these in.
Now you'll notice that they are a little loose, that's fine.
They're supposed to be a little loose.
Once you get these on, then what we're going to do is we're going to spin our rotor and
just make sure that our caliper cover clips aren't hitting our rotor anywhere and they're
not.
Another way you can do that is take a thirteen thousandths feeler gauge and slide it in here
and just double check to make sure that you've got plenty of clearance.
However on this particular application with these Fords, they have a lot of clearance
in here so no worries.
So the front one's done and we're going to go ahead and show you how to do the back.
It's pretty much about the same way but there's a few little differences, so we we'll get
back there and show you how to do that one.
Guys, we've moved to the back of the truck, it's a very similar process.
Just grab the clips out of the kit that are marked for the rear and also something to
take note of is that the caliper covers for the back are shorter than the front ones,
so you know which ones go to the back.
What we're going to do is we're going to take our clip and we're going to slide it in here
on top of here like so.
Now you're going to have to work it around the backing plate a little bit and we're going
to put this on here.
We'll get it in place.
Like I said guys, the rear ones are a little bit more tricky, not real tough or anything
to do, just a little more tricky to get on here and then this one, get it slid up in
here, just like so.
And then once that's in place, then we can go ahead and do the same as we did on the
front and torque these down to 18-20 inch pounds
and there you go.
Okay guys, we've got our caliper covers on, which by the way, you guys can see here, look
pretty snazzy on this truck and we've got our wheels back on the truck.
So only one thing left to do and that's take this thing out and cruise it around town to
show these off.
Remember guys, until next time, happy motoring.
