2006 Ford Ranger Brake Caliper Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake caliper on 2006 Ford Ranger?

  A: You can start caliper maintenance and repair work only after positioning the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear on a hoist. Only DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid should be used because other types of fluid will result in complete brake failure by damaging brake components irreparably. Keep brake fluid use safe by protecting your eyes and washing all areas where fluid touches properly afterward; contact eye fluid requires immediate water flushing for 15 minutes followed by medical assistance until the irritation decreases. Drinking water followed by vomiting induction leads to an immediate need for professional medical care in cases of ingestion. Brake fluid poses a risk to painted and plastic surfaces so immediately clean any fluid leaked with water. Take out the flow bolt from the brake caliper and put the brake hose aside for disposal while discarding both copper washers and plugging the hose. The caliper sight hole requires no probing with your fingers since it can harm the pistons. The two brake caliper pin bolts should be removed first along with the brake caliper after which a new disc brake caliper must be installed if you find leaks or damaged boots. The installation process starts with bottom caliper bolt tightening before moving to top caliper bolt while ensuring proper boot seating of the guide pins. Position the brake caliper before installing two brake caliper pin bolts which should be tightened to 36 Nm (27 ft. lbs.). Install the brake caliper flow bolt on the brake hose after placing two new copper washers then tighten it to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.). Normal brake system operation must be verified after bleaching the brake caliper has been completed.
