2000 Ford E-150 Econoline Brake Caliper Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake caliper on 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline?

  A: Service and repair of the brake caliper starts with vehicle elevation followed by tire and wheel removal. Start by removing the speed sensor wiring only if your vehicle has it installed by unclipping it from the front brake hose. The disc brake caliper must remain sealed when performing front brake hose maintenance by plugging everything before removing it from service. Take out the flow bolt and disconnect the front brake hose while disposing the copper washers. The following step involves taking off the disc brake caliper from the front wheel spindle (E-150) or front disc brake caliper anchor plate (E-250, E-350, E-450) after removing its two bolts. The inspection of the caliper for leakage reveals it needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The installation process of caliper sleeve boots requires Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or ESE-M1C171-A equivalent silicone compound which should be filled into the boots without using petroleum-based lubricants to avoid deterioration. Install the disc brake caliper either into front wheel spindle (E-150) or front disc brake caliper anchor plate (E-250, E-350, E-450). Secure the disc brake caliper bolts after position. New copper washers should be used to install the front brake hose and bolt together with speed sensor wiring attachment to the front brake hose when present. Bleeding the brake system should then be followed by wheel and tire installation and brake system operational inspection.
