Ford 5U2Z-1V125-GD
Rotor

Service and repair operations on the front brake rotor/disc should begin by setting the vehicle to NEUTRAL and suspending it on a hoist. The brake flexible hose must not support the brake caliper. Substitute it with a proper tool to maintain the brake caliper in place. The service includes removing two bolts which secure the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly and placing them out of the work area. The next step requires removal and disposal of the brake disc screw. Lock lubricant and penetrating oil should be applied on the hub-brake disc joint surfaces when the disc does not come off easily. Thoroughly clean the brake disc together with wheel hub using brake parts cleaner once you have removed this component. Prior to brake disc installation the hub flange requires thin application of anti-seize lubricant. Establish the new brake disc with its new brake disc screw through a torque of 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). The brake caliper and brake caliper anchor plate assembly should be repositioned before securing two new bolts with 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.) torque.

Before starting the rear brake disc replacement task make sure to park your vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. During brake caliper anchor plate removal users should keep the plate from hanging on brake hoses while furnishing proper sustaining structures. Divide the brake caliper anchor plate bolts and discard these components before safely placing the plate to the side. During reinstallation position the anchor plate bolts at 110 Nm (81 lb-ft). Remove the brake disc screw during its removal while installing the part requires a torque of 21 Nm (15 lb-ft). When the installation is completed the worker should reverse the removal steps by fitting two new brake caliper anchor plate bolts while using the same procedure.

Start the replacement process by removing the wheel together with the tire before proceeding to the brake rotor/disc. It is crucial to avoid putting the caliper at risk through hanging from the brake hose since it may result in damage. Lift away the two brake caliper anchor plate bolts from their locations before placing the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly to one side using mechanic's wire as support. The installation procedure requires tightening new anchor plate bolts to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). When removing and replacing the brake disc screw discard it before tightening the new one to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). An M10 bolt inserted into the disc removal hole allows you to tighten it for mounting the brake disc from the hub. Before installation of brake components users must clean both brake disc and wheel hub surfaces from rust and foreign materials with brake parts cleaner. The hub flange requires a thin coating of specified anti-seize lubricant before mounting the brake disc assemblage with its new brake disc screw secured at 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Position the brake caliper assembly along with the anchor plate and include two new bolts which require tightening at 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). Test the brake system several times to confirm proper operation before you put back the wheel coupled with the tire.

Vehicle wheel removal with tire uninstallation is the first step toward rotor/disc replacement. Positioning the brake caliper without hanging it from the brake hose will preserve its integrity. The brake caliper anchor plate needs to have its installation bolts removed before setting it aside. When attaching the new anchor plate secure the bolts to 110 Nm (81 lb-ft). The removal of the current brake disc screw requires immediate discarding with the new screw installation followed by a torque measurement set to 21 Nm (15 lb-ft). The installation process for the brake disc follows the reverse of removal steps through the use of new brake caliper anchor plate bolts. To test that brakes function properly apply them multiple times during this process.

Start the procedure to replace and remove the rear brake disc by removing first wheel and tire components. Avoid suspending the caliper from the brake hose because such action could damage it. Cable caliper anchor plate bolts should be removed along with their disposal before moving the brake caliper anchor plate aside. Install the anchor plate bolts at 110 Nm while tightening them (81 lb-ft). You need to do away with and throw out the brake disc screw afterward which needs a torque setting at 21 Nm (15 lb-ft) upon assembly. For completion of installation reverse the earlier procedures by using two new brake caliper anchor plate bolts.

Avoid allowing the brake caliper to hang from the brake flexible hose; instead, support it with a suitable tool.

Apply the brakes several times to verify correct operation before reinstalling the wheel and tire.

Ensure the vehicle is in NEUTRAL and positioned on a hoist.

Clean any rust or debris from the brake disc and wheel hub using brake parts cleaner.

Caution must be taken to avoid allowing the brake caliper to hang from the brake flexible hose to prevent damage.
