2005 Ford Excursion Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake pads on 2005 Ford Excursion?

  A: Service of front brake pads begins by checking the brake master cylinder filler cap and brake fluid level in the reservoir then draining fluid until it matches half of its total capacity. Support the vehicle with a ramp and remove the wheel combined with its tire assembly. You should examine brake pads for wear and contaminants before considering pad replacement according to the specified metal plate thickness measurements above the plate and rivets and always choose new pads as complete axle groupings. Before you uninstall the disc brake caliper maintain its support from the anchor plate and never hang the caliper with its brake hose. Loosen the caliper's two bolts and remove the device from the plate. Replacement of the disc brake rotor is necessary when its thickness falls below specified parameters. Application of disassembly procedures is necessary when leaks are discovered during caliper inspection. When removing V-springs it becomes necessary to uninstall both pads and rail clips. New pads should be handled carefully before installation to prevent pad lining material contact with oil or any other substance which may cause installation failure. First install stainless steel rails then add pads and last prepare the installation of V-springs if needed. Install the caliper while pressing the pistons then thread it onto place without damaging the bleeder screw or rotor shield before securing the caliper with caliper pin bolts. Place back the wheel along with tire components and then lower down the vehicle before putting dot 3 motor vehicle brake fluid into the master brake reservoir and closing the filler cap. Checking the brake function completes the replacement process to verify proper operation.
