Ford 6F2Z-2B120-A
Caliper Assembly, Front Passenger Side

Service and repair operations on the front brake caliper need to start with the vehicle situated in neutral on a hoist platform. The brake caliper flow bolt and both copper washers should be extracted for disposal so discard the washers. Remove the two brake caliper guide pin bolts to separate the brake caliper from its position. Secure the boots of the guide pin and locator pin during new caliper installation so you can avoid damaging the components. The guide pin and locator pin require silicone grease inspection followed by necessary lubrication. Secure both guide pin caliper bolts by first fastening the bottom locator pin bolt to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs) torque before tightening the top guide pin bolt to insufficient torque. You need to install the brake caliper flexible hose as well as the brake caliper flow bolt with two copper washers before tightening the bolt to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs). The brake caliper installation requires bleeding the device to finalize the process. Brake devices require motor vehicle brake fluid with DOT 3 classification to prevent damage to components permanently while instantly cleaning painted or plastic parts affected by brake fluid spills with water. The emergency contact for brake fluid medical information is Ford/Motorcraft reachable at 1-800-959-3673 in both USA and Canada. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet if it is accessible.

The repair and servicing of front brake calipers should start with placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear while it rests on a hoist. Washers are discarded while removing the brake caliper flow bolt situated between the two copper washers. The brake caliper attachment requires removal of the two brake caliper bolts. Install the new caliper by properly positioning its guide pin boots and locator pin boots to avoid harm to the system. Check the guide pin and locator pin while providing them with necessary silicone grease applications. Secure both guide pin caliper bolts to 35 Nm torque (26 ft. lbs.) while starting with the bottom locator pin bolt then moving to the top guide pin bolt. Put back the brake caliper flexible hose and install and tighten the brake caliper flow bolt with pre-installed new copper washers (55 Nm; 41 ft. lbs.). Bleeding of the brake caliper finally finishes the installation procedures. The use of approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid along with safety measures to protect eyes and painted and plastic surfaces are necessary to prevent enduring damage to brake components.

Ensure that the guide pin and locator pin boots are correctly seated to prevent damage.

Always use approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid to avoid permanent damage to brake components.

Brake fluid can harm painted and plastic surfaces; any spills should be washed with water immediately.

Disconnect the parking brake cable end from the parking brake lever arm at the caliper, followed by the parking brake cable and conduit from the brake caliper.
