2006 Ford Focus Brake Pads Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake pads on 2006 Ford Focus?

  A: The initial step to service front brake pads needs proper DOT 3 brake fluid since alternative fluids will permanently harm your brakes and make them unoperable which creates a danger of harm to vehicle occupants. Always handle brake fluid with carefulness and maintain eye protection with a proper sedative solution afterward. In cases of eye contact, use running water for 15-minute eye flushing followed by medical help for prolonged irritation. The ingestion of this substance requires you to drink water followed by vomiting induction before you seek immediate medical attention. Brake fluid has destructive effects on surface components including paint and plastic. Quickly deal with spills by using water for cleaning. Start by checking the master cylinder reservoir brake fluid level then extract fluid until reaching a half-full mark. The vehicle needs to be hoisted while placed in the neutral mode. Start by detaching the brake hose from the supporting bracket followed by removal of the brake pad retaining clip. The caliper sight hole needs to be avoided when retracting pistons due to possible damage. Keep the brake caliper off the flexible hose because you should wire-brace it for support. Set the caliper in place after removing its two bolts then tighten these bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft.lbs.). Check the two brake pads to determine if they meet the layer specification above the metal backing plates before making replacements for worn-out pads and install new pads only in full axle sets. Displacing brake fluid from the master cylinder becomes possible when the caliper piston moves inside housing. To protect these components use a suitable tool and worn brake pad to push the piston into the bores. Conclude pad replacement by performing the reverse steps of installation.
