2008 Mercury Mountaineer Brake Disc Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the rear brake disc on 2008 Mercury Mountaineer?

  A: Start the process of disc replacement by taking off the wheel and tire. The caliper sight hole demands avoiding direct probing for piston retraction since such action may harm the pistons together with their boots. The brake pad assembly combined with the brake caliper should be positioned away from the brake hose to safeguard it from damages. Disconnect the two caliper guide pin bolts after which you should place the caliper assembly and pads together with mechanic's wire for support. In cases where the brake disc resists the parking brake shoe and lining you should uninstall the adjustment hole knockout panel to shorten the brake shoe and lining length. You can use penetrating lock lubricant on mating surfaces when removing a brake disc which shows resistance. Use parts cleaner to wash rust and foreign material from both brake disc surfaces as well as the wheel hub surfaces immediately after brake disc removal. Place the new brake disc properly before fitting the brake caliper along with pads and torquing the guide pin bolts to 32 Nm (24 lb-ft). To finish the process reattach the wheel and tire before testing the operation of the brakes multiple times. The opening of the access plug needs to be reinstalled to stop outside contaminants from getting inside.
