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

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

  A: The first step to fix the front brake rotor/disc on an E-150 involves moving the brake pads. Begin the brake disc and hub removal process by taking out the hub grease cap then the cotter pin as well as the nut retainer and spindle nut which precedes the front wheel outer bearing retainer washer and outer front wheel bearing before eventually separating the brake disc and hub. The manufacturer advises that disc surface repairs must include on-vehicle machining while following equipment manufacturer guidelines. Drain the wheel hub grease seal along with the inner front wheel bearing according to necessary conditions. Proper front wheel bearing and brake disc and hub inspection occurs after complete cleaning through the use of Metal Brake Parts Cleaner F3AZ-19579-SA or equivalent. Apply Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or K, or an equivalent with Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B to the front wheel bearings. Insert two new wheel hub grease seals before placing the inner front wheel bearing and another new wheel hub grease seal. Insert the brake disc and hub before adding the outer front wheel bearing as well as the front wheel outer bearing retainer washer. Mount the spindle nut onto the assembly before performing a continuous rotation of the brake disc while tightening the spindle nut. Next tighten the spindle nut once more after you loosen it two turns during brake disc and hub rotation. Perform the spindle nut tightening and loosening procedure when rotating the brake disc and hub. Conclude your installation of the brake pads by adding the nut retainer followed by a cotter pin and completing with the hub grease cap.
