2009 Ford Focus Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair brake pads on 2009 Ford Focus?

  A: The braking system needs clean brake fluid from manufacturers' specifications alongside a preventative measure to exclude earlier drained liquid since this could damage the system. New brake pads need installation at both front and back ends of an axle to maintain even braking capabilities. Verify the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level then drain fluid until the container reaches its midpoint. Moving next remove the wheel followed by the tire from the vehicle. Retrograde force through the caliper sight hole will damage the components so avoid it and refrain from allowing the brake caliper to suspend from the flexible hose to prevent hose damage. Locate and remove the two brake caliper guide pin bolts then set the caliper to the side and support it with mechanic's wire. Reinstall the caliper bolts at 28 Nm (21 lb-ft). To protect the caliper pistons along with their boots push the pistons into the caliper bores; when installing new brake pads utilize a C-clamp and a worn brake pad to compress the pistons. The wear indicator exists at the edge of the inner pad. The procedure ends with filling the master cylinder reservoir with recommended brake fluid then applying brakes repetitively for proper operation verification.
