2006 Ford E-150 Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on 2006 Ford E-150?

  A: Recovering or fixing the rear brake pads of an E-150 starts with using approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid since different fluids will damage the brakes permanently thus leading to an inoperable condition and endangering personal safety. Keep a safe distance from brake fluid because it can harm your eyes; wash your hands correctly after use; eye contacts result in running water flush for fifteen minutes with medical assistance if irritation continues. Taking in brake fluid requires water consumption followed by vomiting induction followed by quick medical treatment. Brake fluid poses risks to painted and plastic products which require immediate cleaning with water after any incident. Proceed by wiping down the surrounding area while removing the cap from the brake cylinder and mark the current brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir before draining enough fluid until it reaches half the indicator. Place the vehicle in neutral and set it on the hoist. The caliper must never hang from the brake hose to prevent breakdowns. First use mechanic wire to support the caliper while you disconnect the two caliper pin bolts and then place the caliper aside. Follow the stated procedure to tighten the caliper pin bolts at 32 Nm (24 ft. lbs.). The process continues with removal and discarding of brake pad clips alongside brake pad return springs. After they are disposed of, remove the brake pads. The installation of new brake pads requires complete replacement of opposite brake system sets whenever pad lining reaches or exceeds manufacturer-designated metal backing plate thickness. During caliper piston pushing install a suitable tool and worn brake pad for protection of both piston and boots. Determine if you detect brake caliper leaks through inspection. Replace the caliper if leaks exist. The installation process ends by following the removal steps backward but requiring brake activation until proper function is confirmed while inspecting the caliper for any leakage. You must check the level of brake master cylinder reservoir then add clean DOT 3 fluid when necessary.
