2009 Ford Edge Brake Pads Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service front disc brake pads on 2009 Ford Edge?

  A: Setting up the front disc brake pad servicing requires the use of correct manufacturer-approved brake fluid that should not include previously drained fluid to ensure both cleanliness and no damage occurs. When replacing brake shoes or pads users must install a new set on all ends of an axle for maintaining consistent braking performance. Take out fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir until it reaches a level of one-half full if needed. The brake caliper should be detached by removing its two guide pin bolts while avoiding insertion into the caliper sight hole or allowing the caliper to dangle from the brake hose. You should use mechanic's wire to support the caliper then remove brake pads with stainless steel shims while examining them for wear signs and contamination. Proceed to eliminate the brake pad slides. The installation process for new brake pads requires protecting caliper pistons and boots through their compression into the caliper by means of an appropriate tool. After fitting the brake pad slides you should apply supplied grease to shims and brake pad contact surfaces before attaching stainless steel shims to the brake pads. The guide pin bolts have distinct lengths where the longer one belongs to the upper bolt piece. Secure the brake caliper by placing its position correctly and tighten the two guide pin bolts to 88 Nm (65 lb-ft). Replace the wheel and tire before adding clean specified fluid into the brake master cylinder reservoir until you check correct brake operation by applying the brakes several times.
