• Q: How to Remove and Replace the Brake Disc on 2009 Ford Flex?

  A: Start the replacement process by removing the wheel together with the tire before proceeding to the brake rotor/disc. It is crucial to avoid putting the caliper at risk through hanging from the brake hose since it may result in damage. Lift away the two brake caliper anchor plate bolts from their locations before placing the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly to one side using mechanic's wire as support. The installation procedure requires tightening new anchor plate bolts to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). When removing and replacing the brake disc screw discard it before tightening the new one to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). An M10 bolt inserted into the disc removal hole allows you to tighten it for mounting the brake disc from the hub. Before installation of brake components users must clean both brake disc and wheel hub surfaces from rust and foreign materials with brake parts cleaner. The hub flange requires a thin coating of specified anti-seize lubricant before mounting the brake disc assemblage with its new brake disc screw secured at 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Position the brake caliper assembly along with the anchor plate and include two new bolts which require tightening at 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). Test the brake system several times to confirm proper operation before you put back the wheel coupled with the tire.
