2009 Ford Ranger Brake Caliper Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the brake caliper on 2009 Ford Ranger?

  A: The brake caliper replacement operation should start with brake fluid from an approved supplier that matches manufacturers' standards but never use drained fluid because contamination causes damage. Read all cautionary information provided on the product label while consulting medical professionals for emergency first aid. In case brake fluid spills onto painted or plastic materials you need to absorb the fluid with cloths then immediately wash the surface with water. Eliminate the wheel and tire to begin while you remove the brake caliper flow bolt to place the brake hose aside by discarding two copper washers then plugging the hose. Avoid using physical force to retract pistons through the caliper sight hole since such maneuvers lead to damaging the piston components. Then you must remove the two brake caliper guide pin bolts followed by removal of the brake caliper. The replacement of new disc brake calipers becomes necessary when you detect damaged boots or brake system leaks during inspection. The installation process requires the vehicle operator to first tighten the bottom caliper bolt followed by the upper bolt to protect guide pins without compromising caliper pin boots placement. Secure the brake caliper into position while installing its two brake caliper guide pin bolts and tightening them to 36 Nm (27 lb-ft). After placing the brake hose with two new copper washers install the brake caliper flow bolt at 34 Nm (25 lb-ft) torque. Following the bleeding procedure for the brake caliper replace the wheel along with the tire before carrying out a normal brake system test.
