• Q: How to Service and Repair Rear Brake Disc Pads on 2009 Ford Fusion?

  A: Start by using brake fluid of proper manufacturer standards while keeping previously drained fluid separate to maintain clean conditions during the service process of rear disc brake pads. Installing brake shoes or pads as new pairs across the axle will prevent braking inconsistency. The first step should be to measure the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level before removing fluid quantities until reaching 1/2 full capacity when required. The procedure begins by removing the wheel and tire followed by a cable disconnect process from the brake caliper through lever manipulation and removal of the conduit clip and cable release and caliper unattachment. Prying into the caliper sight hole to withdraw the pistons will damage components while hanging the brake caliper from the brake hose must also be avoided. The brake caliper requires mechanic's wire to support its position as you conduct bolt removal on both guide pin bolts. You need to remove brake pads together with shims while taking out retraction clips then examine them for possible wear or breakage and discard the slide clips. The cleaning process for the caliper piston boot should be followed before installing the Rear Brake Caliper Piston Adjuster Adapter to compress the piston into the bore which aligns the piston notch with the brake pad's inboard pin. When installing new brake pads you must use all components from the brake pad set while mounting the shims and slide clips to the anchor plate before coating contact points with lubricant before pad installation. Apply proper positioning to the anchor plate before installing the caliper and then tighten the two bolts to 26 Nm (19 lb-ft). After assembly of the parking brake cable to the brake caliper you should pull the lever to join the connection between cable and conduit retaining clip and reinstall the retaining clip. You must finish by installing the wheel as well as tire then adding specified brake fluid into the brake master cylinder reservoir before doing multiple parking brake cycling tests to check normal operation while testing brake application multiple times for correct function.
