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

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

  A: The servicing and repair process for rear brake pads demands the exclusive usage of DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid since different fluids will permanently damage brake components and create an unsafe braking condition that could cause injuries to the user. The product label contains important safety warnings which must be read thoroughly together with emergency medical assistance details for Ford/Motorcraft products that can be obtained by dialing 1-800-959-3673. The immediate use of water is required to quickly wash off brake fluid that has touched painted or plastic surfaces. Before moving on check the brake master cylinder reservoir for the brake fluid level thus you must drain some fluid to achieve a half-full status. Place the neutral-gear-equipped vehicle onto a hoisting system. The installation of new pads on complete axle sets becomes necessary when the brake pads reach their specified thickness above both metal backing plate and rivets. Check the pad condition while avoiding hanging the brake caliper from the flexible hose by using support equipment. First uninstall two bolts before putting the brake caliper to the side. An inspection of brake disc thickness should be made before a disc replacement is needed. Discard the two slippers after removing the pads together with them. An inspection of the disc brake anchor plate assembly must occur with a check for guide pin boot damage while inspecting the guide pins for binding issues and damages; new boots should replace damaged ones while guide pins require lubrication. Pads receive installation if no contaminant including grease oil fluid or brake fluid touches pad lining material while installing uncontaminated pads. You should position the brake caliper after installing both new slippers and brake pads. Then screw in the two bolts while tightening them to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). Conclude the procedure by checking brake function.
