How to service and repair the front brake caliper on 2003 Ford Explorer?

Start the front brake caliper service and repair by disconnecting the disc brake caliper and fixing it in a vise for maintenance. The piston bores should not be honed because excessively deteriorated components require replacement with new brake disc calipers. The correct order of disassembly must be followed and reassembly requires the use of the reversed disassembly steps. When removing the piston use limited air pressure delivered in small bursts to prevent a sudden piston discharge. A piece of wood should be placed in the caliper as you feed air pressure through the bleeder screw port at a moderate rate to extract the piston.
