Nobody interested in a set of '11 brakes?

All, I have not been active for a while here due to unforeseen circumstances. Regardless, I have a new-in-box set of PowerStop Evolution Sport Carbon Fiber Ceramic Performance brake pads for the front and rear that fit a 2011 Edge Limited w/ the 3.5L. See attached pdf for the purchase info from Rock Auto. I paid $109.77 total with shipping for them. I just never got around to putting them on and I recently sold the vehicle. Shoot me a reasonable offer for the set and you pay the shipping. I'm in Plano, Texas, if you want to calculate shipping to your location. You can contact me here or at 'chefduane@twc.com' Thanks!

I've had them on for a few years now and have had no problems with them. No rust issues and they still hold the hood up just fine. No worries.

Hey thanks for the response. I went ahead and gently removed all the blue paint from the emblem with progressively finer steel wool but they are still some swirl marks there if you look closely. I like the idea of the overlay. Thanks!! Duane

2011 Edge Limited AWD 123,600 miles in great shape; I would like to completely remove the blue paint from my front grille badge and just go with an unfinished badge. All the clear plastic cover has chipped off and about 3/4 of the blue paint has eroded away. I have tried a number of chemicals to strip the rest of the paint (yes, I was careful not to spill on any other surfaces) to no avail. I have not yet tried acetone so maybe that will work. Short of that, and without resorting to using steel wool on it, anyone have any ideas on how to remove the paint? Maybe a Naval Jelly type actual paint remover?? I want to try to avoid removing the bumper/grill just to remove the badge. Having done it a few times before I just want to avoid the hassle and simply paint strip the badge. Thanks for any responses! Duane

Didn't get the Wiper Arm Assy and Lisle Terminal Puller until today. But... worked like a charm. Got the broken arm off with the puller and the new one went on smoothly. Tightened down with new blade and all is well. I love it when a plan comes together! Thanks to all for the feedback and thanks to Omar for the advice on the puller. Duane

Omar, thanks. Yep, that's the ticket. Ordered one from Amazon Prime. Should be here on New Years Day! Thanks again and Happy New Year! Duane

2011 Limited AWD Is there some special trick I need to know about removing the rear wiper arm? I need to swap it out and have removed the shroud and the 13mm nut holding the arm on but it will NOT budge off the stud. Perhaps it is just seized on the stud and some break free is needed? I have tried to pry up the arm and it pulls up the whole stud assy that penetrates the window to the motor assy? Anybody got any tips? Should the arm just lift off the stud? What am I missing? Thanks for any feedback and Happy New Year! Chef Duane ]

Well I reset the Parking Aid Module and the reconfiguration passed. Unfortunately now when I go run a Forscan scan there is no option to Reset Backup Camera. It has disappeared. I guess I am destined for a $2000 dealer camera installation. Weird thing is that the camera works just fine, its just upside down. If I could find a way to rotate the camera lens 180 degrees, I would. Then be done with it. Also, I assume that I am on Sync 3 as I have an '11 Limited with all bells and whistles. It keeps asking me what Sync version I am on. Thanks again for any information/suggestions you might offer. Duane

Everything is stock. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks for responding!

Anyone, anyone? Bueller, Bueller??

2011 Edge LTD. So my backup cam has gone upside down again and I am (trying) to (once again) reset it with FORSCAN. However, now Forscan only gets to 8% and then says "Reconfiguration aborted. Please run Self-Test to reset trouble codes." Well, I have reset every freaking trouble code that I had multiple times. There are no DTC's in ANY modules, but I still get the same error message. What am I not doing correctly? Is there some other 'Self-Test' somewhere that I should be running?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone found a source for a camera that works that is not the $350 Ford OEM camera?
