2007 Lincoln Mark LT Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on 2007 Lincoln Mark LT?

  A: The rear brake pad servicing process should begin with DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid to avoid permanent brake part damage. The brake master cylinder reservoir requires fluid measurement until it reaches a half-full position when necessary. Fix the vehicle on a hoisting system with the transmission set to NEUTRAL. You should disconnect the two guide pin bolts from the brake caliper and set it carefully aside with mechanic's wire to secure the brake hose from damage. Check the brake disc thickness through measurement before performing a replacement if it fails to reach specified values. Take out the brake pads while removing their two spring clips but discard these clips. It is necessary to install new pads when the existing thickness exceeds the approved amount above the backing plate and rivets in axle set combinations. Inspect the brake caliper anchor plate assembly to check the guide pin boots for damage then check guide pins for binding or damage while replacing worn or damaged boots and lubricating the guide pins according to necessary. The installation process requires proper piston and boot protection before using a suitable tool to position the worn brake pad together with the boot within the caliper. Place all new hardware components from the pad kit and spring kit with two new spring clips and brake pads. Install the brake caliper before putting in the two guide pin bolts which need a torque of 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). Functional brake performance needs to be checked before operating the vehicle.
