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

  A: A transparent suction tool can be used to drain brake fluid from the master cylinder until it reaches half capacity while exclusively using DOT 3 brake fluid specified for motor vehicles to prevent lasting damage to braking elements. Any air suspension vehicle must have its air suspension switch turned off from its RH kick panel location before hoisting or jacking or towing to prevent addressible air spring inflation or deflation. When the vehicle rests in NEUTRAL gear position the technician should secure it on a hoist. The brake pad inspection should verify clearance from the specified metal contacting threshold above or at which point new pads and total axle replacements become necessary. Use fingers to compress the anchor housing spring at its center point until both brake caliper ends release. Afterwards, turn and extract the spring from the caliper housing. support the caliper through mechanic's wire because letting the brake caliper hang by flexible hose brake will cause damage. First remove the caps and both guide pin bolts from the brake caliper then secure the caliper with mechanic's wires. Secure a proper clamp to the caliper to push the piston inside the caliper housing. The brake disc requires inspection before having to resurface it or replacing it with a new brake disc. Position the new brake pads into the caliper before placing the caliper onto the anchor plate and install the two brake caliper guide pin bolts while tightening them to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.). Insert the upper section of the anchor housing spring into the brake caliper cavity before rotating it and then place the lower arm onto the anchor plate. To finish installation position the upper arm onto the anchor plate while pressing down and inward until the brake caliper cavities correctly latch with the plate while verifying proper placement of the latch. Brake operation needs verification through multiple brake applications.
