2001 Ford Excursion Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on all on 2001 Ford Excursion?

  A: The first step to repair or service rear brake pads on all vehicles involves inspecting the brake fluid reservoir through the master cylinder cap followed by brakes fluid withdrawal until reaching half-full capacity. The first step is to take off the wheel and tire assembly before examining brake pad condition for wear symptoms or pollution marks; replace the pads when signs of any damage appear beyond specification. The brake caliper service starts with unfastening nuts and stone shield and proceeding to caliper pin bolts on forward-of-axle models. The procedure requires back up support before disc brake caliper removal to prevent the caliper from hanging from the brake hose. You should measure the rear brake disc thickness after removing the rear disc brake caliper because you need to replace the disc if it is outside the acceptable specifications. Check your disc brake caliper for leakage while performing the inspection process. Disassemble the components in case leakage occurs. The installation procedure starts with reversing all steps from removal while using the caliper pistons to gently force them into their proper position in the caliper piston bores. This process requires protection of both the piston and boots.
