Mercury Milan Parts Questions & Answers

• Impact Bar, Rear
  6E5Z-17906-AA
  Q: How to remove and replace the rear bumper cover on Mercury Milan?

  A: The rear lamp assembly needs removal as the first step for bumper cover replacement. First detach the six pin-type retainers from the rear splash shield and afterward disengage the two pin-type retainers from the lower rear bumper cover. Then, remove the two pins and two screws situated at the top of the bumper cover. Begin by removing the two bolts together with two pin-type retainers from the top area of the rear bumper cover. These components are replaced by the two upper bumper cover screws which you will find on each side of the vehicle. The installation and removal process for Milan and MKZ models demands detachment of the license plate lamp electrical connector as well as the optional parking aid system electrical connector. End the process of installation by reversing all previous removal steps for the new rear bumper cover.
• Alternator

  Q: How to service and repair the alternator on a 2.3L generator on Mercury Milan?

  A: Service and repair operations for the alternator require starting with the removal of the battery from the system. When reinstalling the generator upper air duct you should tighten the bolt and two nuts to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) belt tensioner requires clockwise rotation as the operator positions the accessory drive belt out of the way. The two nuts and generator shield must be removed while you must tighten them to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) when installing them. Start by unwinding the locking tabs for removing the generator intermediate air duct before placing the generator protective cover to one side along with the unwiring of the B+ terminal nut from the generator. Reinstall all components by tightening the B+ terminal nut to 12 Nm (106 lb-in). The generator electrical connector along with the generator harness locator from the generator and engine block must be separately disconnected. The technician disconnects the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector before placing generator harness to the side. The generator separation requires removing its bolt and two nuts and requires the generator bolt torque to be set at 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) during installation. Reinstallation of the generator requires tightening the three bolts and the generator lower air duct to a torque of 4 Nm (35 lb-in). Reattach the generator stud bolts after removal while torquing them to 24 Nm (18 lb-ft). A thorough and reverse reinstall procedure will mark the end of the installation process.
• Ignition Coil
  6E5Z-12029-BA
  Q: How to Properly Maintain an Ignition Coil and Is It Necessary for a Mercury Milan?

  A: You should start servicing the ignition coil-on-plug by taking away all the two nuts and bolt and generator air inlet duct while making sure to tighten these components to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) when reinstalling them. The service procedure starts with disconnecting the four electrical connectors which attach to the ignition coil-on-plug. A twisting motion will help break the seal on ignition coil-on-plugs before removing the four bolts which also take out the ignition coil-on-plugs and require 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque during installation. Before installing the ignition coil-on-plug boots on the spark plugs you should apply a tiny drop of dielectric grease inside the boots.
• Catalytic Converter, Rear
  7E5Z-5E212-AA
  Q: How to service and repair the catalytic converter for non-PZEV and 2.3L manifolds on Mercury Milan?

  A: The first step for servicing or repairing the catalytic converter on non-PZEV and 2.3L manifolds requires hoisting the vehicle in NEUTRAL position. Start by removing the generator air inlet duct then detach the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) along with the catalyst monitor sensor from the vehicle. The wiring harness bracket needs detaching from the valve cover stud before storing it aside. Start by taking out the two nuts which connect the catalytic converter manifold to the exhaust flexible pipe while discarding the parts with both gasket and nuts. First detach the six bolts retaining the heat shield before taking off the shield and pulling out the two brackets and securing bolts of the catalytic converter manifold shield assembly. Liberate the two bolts securing the catalytic converter manifold bracket and detach the seven nuts and catalytic converter manifold while throwing away the nuts and gasket. Clean the manifold after removing the seven manifold studs which also need discarding. Seven new catalytic converter manifold studs should be installed according to sequence then tightened to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). Install the new catalytic converter manifold gasket by placing it onto the studs but tighten the nuts in a certain order and twice with two torque stages using 55 Nm (41 lb-ft). The installation of the catalytic converter manifold shield bracket requires two bolts that should be tightened to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) followed by two catalytic converter manifold bracket bolts which need to be tightened to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). Place the heat shield and secure its six bolts by tightening them to 10 Nm (89 lb-inch). Secure the two catalytic converter manifold-to-exhaust flexible pipe nuts while using new gaskets and tightening them to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). Attach the wiring harness bracket on the stud while you install both the HO2S and catalyst monitor sensors before reinstating the generator air inlet duct.
