2005 Mercury Monterey Brake Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake disc on 2005 Mercury Monterey?

  A: Service and repair of the front brake disc starts by first removing anchor plate bolts before setting the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly to the side. When reassembling make marks on a wheel stud and its matching hole of the brake disc wheel to preserve the minimal runout throughout the assembly process. The next step requires the removal of all three brake disc screws before they are discarded. Brake disc removal should be attempted only if rust penetrant treatment works on the brake disc hub interface. To install the brake disc one must first use a hub-mounted brake lathe to machine the disc if needed then measure and resurface it until it meets specifications otherwise replace it with a new one. Use metal brake parts cleaner to clean all rust along with debris from both brake disc and wheel hub surfaces. When installing the brake disc apply a thin layer of anti-seize lubricant on the hub flange before lining up its marks with the wheel stud position. Position the brake caliper and brake caliper anchor plate assembly before screwing and torquing two bolts to 185 Nm (136 ft. lbs.).
