• Q: How to Properly Remove and Service a Brake Disc on 2000 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The first step for servicing or repairing brake rotor/disc starts with supporting the rear disc brake caliper to prevent the brake hose from suspension. Keep the brake caliper connected to the hydraulic lines before removing it from its position. The plug for accessing the adjustment hole of the parking brake shoe and linings must be removed to use an adjustment tool for retracting this brake component. The tool needs insertion in the access plug slot which is far from the brake caliper followed by adjuster activation while rotating the tool toward the backing plate until the brake disc becomes free. A hub-mount brake lathe should be used to machine and measure the brake disc which requires replacement when beyond specifications. The brake disc and wheel hub need cleaning from any rust and foreign debris by applying Metal Brake Parts Cleaner F3AZ-19579-SA or an equivalent product. High Temperature Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant F6AZ-9L494-AA which satisfies Ford specification ESE-M12A4-A should be applied to both hub flange and pilot region. The last installation step is the rear brake disc followed by installation of the rear disc brake caliper.
