2007 Ford E-250 Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake pads on 2007 Ford E-250?

  A: The first step when servicing front brake pads involves using only DOT 3 brake fluid because other fluids will lead to lasting damage and brake malfunction. Measure the brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir before removing enough fluid to reach half-full capacity. Associate the vehicle to a hoisting system in a neutral gear position. The speed sensor wiring requires release from the front brake hose. Canal piercing through the caliper sight hole would destroy pistons thus damaging them. After you remove the two guide pin bolts from the caliper support it with mechanic's wire instead of allowing the caliper to depend from the flexible hose. Proceed to remove both brake pads together with all available retraction clips following the necessary steps to dispose these clips. Replace brake pads when their lining diminishes to or goes beyond the indicated thickness measurement above the metal backing plate. Additionally, check the brake pads for damage and disc contamination before making replacements. You must disassemble the brake caliper when leaks are detected. All brake pad installation should include verification that pad lining material remains free of grease, oil, brake fluid and other contaminants. Install all new hardware provided in the brake pad kit. Proper installation of the new brake pads, retracting clips and caliper piston compression requires a suitable tool and worn brake pad to squeeze the pistons as the brake caliper is assembled. Proceed to fill rubber caliper sleeve boots with grease before placing the brake pads inside. The speed sensor wiring requires installation to the front brake hose. The first step is to tighten the bottom bolt before moving to the top while checking that guide pins have proper seating to avoid damage. Place the caliper correctly into position before installing its two guide pin bolts which should be tightened to 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs). Testing normal brake operation becomes the final step before filling the brake master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid that meets specific standards.
