2006 Mercury Monterey Brake Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake disc on 2006 Mercury Monterey?

  A: The first step for servicing and repairing the front brake rotor/disc is to remove the two brake caliper anchor plate bolts and place the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly to the side. You should mark both a wheel stud and the brake disc wheel stud hole to keep the minimal front brake disc runout position when reassembling. The first step requires discarding three brake disc screws after their removal. The removal of brake disc requires applying rust penetrant between the brake disc and hub surfaces before attempting extraction. A hub-mounted brake lathe should be used to measure and resurface the front brake disc but you need to replace it with a new one if the specifications show it exceeds tolerances. Clean both the brake disc and wheel hub by treating them with metal brake parts cleaner. The hub flange needs a thin coat of anti-seize lubricant before installing the brake disc by lining up the marks between the disc and the wheel stud. Position the brake caliper together with its anchor plate and bolt it with two fasteners to 185 Nm (136 ft. lbs. torque).
