2008 Mercury Grand Marquis Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front brake pads on 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: Service and repair of front brake pads begins by using brake fluid that matches manufacturer criteria and should exclude recycled fluid to stop vessel contamination and deterioration. It is necessary to check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir then remove fluid until it reaches half the full capacity. A worker must disable the emergency fire suppression system before serving the wheel while also removing the wheel and tire. Repositioning the caliper pistons using the caliper sight hole requires caution because improper force can cause damages, while allowing the brake caliper to depend only from the brake hose is unsafe. Position the caliper to the side after removing its two brake caliper guide pin bolts while tightening them to 36 Nm (27 ft. lbs.) but use mechanic's wire to support the caliper. Throw out both pad components along with stainless steel slides that are taken off the anchor plate. Protect both the piston and boots of the caliper before forcing them inside the caliper to prevent damage. To properly compress the disc brake caliper pistons for new brake pad installation use a suitable tool that should be properly guided by a worn brake pad. The installation process concludes by following the reverse order of removal steps and integrating new slides with a brake fluid reservoir filling process using clean specified fluid before securing the filler cap. The operator should activate the fire suppression system followed by testing the brake system until it operates as intended.
