• Q: How to Properly Service and Install a Brake Caliper on 2002 Ford E-150 Econoline?

  A: Service and repair of brake calipers begins by lifting the vehicle and supporting it followed by removing the tire together with the wheel assembly. You should disconnect any speed sensor wiring that exists on the front brake hose. Before unhinging the front brake hose from the disc brake caliper always use a hose plug to reduce both air intrusion and fluid contamination. Separate the flow bolt then disconnect the front brake hose by throwing away the copper washers. Unfasten the two disc brake caliper bolts before removing the disc brake caliper from the front wheel spindle on E-150 vehicles or front disc brake caliper anchor plate on E-250, E-350, E-450 models. Brake fluid leakage at the caliper requires that the component be either rebuilt or replaced due to the leak. To install the rubber caliper sleeve boots you must fill them with either Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or with an equivalent silicone compound that meets Ford specification ESE-MIC171-A but exclude petroleum-based lubricants since they cause deterioration. Fit the disc brake caliper into the front wheel spindle for E-150 vehicles or the front disc brake caliper anchor plate for E-250, E-350, E-450 models then tighten its bolts. The front brake hose gets installed with new copper washers and its bolt while speed sensor wiring may be attached to this brake hose (if vehicle is equipped). After bleeding the brake system technicians must install both wheel and tire assembly before inspecting how the brake system performs.
