2007 Ford Expedition Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on 2007 Ford Expedition?

  A: The repair process of rear brake pads begins by using approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid since other types will permanently damage brake components while making brakes inoperative and potentially causing personal injury to users. The spillage of brake fluid requires immediate water-based cleaning when the fluid contacts painted or plastic materials. The procedure starts by suctioning suitable fluid from the master cylinder reservoir until the level reaches half capacity. Set the vehicle to neutral mode and install it onto a hoist system. Suspension of the brake caliper through a flexible brake hose could cause harm to the system. Use mechanics wire to suspend the caliper while you remove its two guide pin caps along with bolts before placing the caliper to one side. Check threads in guide pins and bushings for damage while inspecting for wear and replace them when needed. Purchase and install new pads that exceed the allowed specifications above their metal backing plates when replacing pads that have reached the minimum thickness. Perform this work on entire axle groups. Brake pad inspection must be carried out to verify wear and contamination level before deciding on replacement. To inspect the brake disc you must press the piston into the caliper by using an appropriate clamp before deciding whether it requires resurfacing or replacement. The installation process requires clean anchor plates with dry conditions and inspections followed by a small lubrication application on pad contact points. Fasten the brake pads to their respective place on the caliper before attaching the caliper to the anchor plate. The two brake caliper guide pin bolts should be tightened to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.). End the process by activating the brake multiple times to confirm proper functioning.
