2009 Ford Ranger Brake Pads Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Start brake pad service and repair by replacing washed brake fluid which matches manufacturer specifications and by discarding previous drained fluid to protect from contamination and system damage. The installation of fresh brake pads must include one set at both sides of a single axle to maintain safe brake operation. At first verify that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir is proper and drain enough fluid until the capacity reaches half-full. Detach the brake caliper after removing the two guide pin bolts so you can support it with mechanic's wire while also preventing damage to the brake hose. Smooth movement on the anchor plate guide pins should be checked while inspecting boots for damage; replace them when needed and apply the specified silicone brake caliper grease for lubrication. Check brake pads for wear and contamination then inspect the brake disc by performing machining as part of needing replacement. New brake pad installation requires all fresh hardware from the kit and proper placement of the two clips and pads. Apply a C-clamp and worn brake pad to protect the piston and boots during caliper piston compression. Start by screwing the caliper bolt at the bottom first to minimize guide pin damage then finish with the top bolt while confirming proper caliper pin boot insertion. To reinstall the brake caliper you must fasten the two guide pin bolts to 36 Nm (27 lb-ft) torque setting before reinstalling the wheel with tire. To confirm proper operation of the brakes you should first apply the brakes several times while filling the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean specified brake fluid.
