• Q: How to service and repair the brake caliper on 2003 Ford Ranger?

The polyglycol ethers and polyglycols present in brake fluid require caution because they can cause harm to your eyes and skin therefore ensure you wash your hands completely before resuming handling activities. When eye contact occurs it is essential to rinse affected areas with running water during 15 minutes while obtaining medical help if discomfort continues. Consume water after an ingestion and follow it with vomiting before going to the hospital immediately for proper medical care. Always wash away brake fluid from painted and plastic surfaces quickly because brake fluid causes these materials damage. Begin by taking out the front brake hose bolt and following with hose disconnect before wiping out used copper washers. Start by plugging the brake front hose and afterward remove the disc brake caliper after you take out the caliper bolts to lift the caliper off the disc. The caliper inspection requires further inspection due to any discovered leaks.
