2001 Mercury Grand Marquis Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: Starting the process of repairing and servicing rear brake pads involves inspecting their condition before replacement when they reach maximum wear specifications. The rear wheel brake hose does not need removal when performing this maintenance task. The disc brake caliper must be removed so operators can keep grease, oil, brake fluid and contaminants away from brake pads while performing the service. You should remove the brake pads by pushing at the inner side and rotating them upward which requires wood blocks or old pads as protection for the piston and boots throughout caliper piston retraction into the rear disc brake caliper. Verify that both slippers maintain clean condition and excellent state of repair. A fundamental step during new brake pad installation involves putting all brake pads in full axle sets while avoiding the practice of using new brake pads on a single side of the vehicle. Correct brake operation needs to be checked after reinstalling the rear disc brake caliper and installing the brake pads.
