• Q: How to Remove and Replace the Brake Disc on 2009 Lincoln MKZ?

  A: The first task to replace or remove a brake rotor/disc requires wheel and tire removal. There are four steps to disconnect the parking brake cable from the brake caliper: First, pull back the parking brake lever and remove the cable from its connection on the lever and take out the cable conduit retaining clip before removing the cable from the brake caliper. Seamlessly move the brake caliper away from the brake hose without causing damage by taking out the brake caliper anchor plate bolts. Set aside the brake caliper assembly with brake pads and brake caliper anchor plate using mechanic's wire as support. Take out the two brake disc screws followed by the brake disk. Before installing the brake disc to hub surface users should clear dust and rust and then apply anti-seize lubricant. The installation process begins with cleaning mating surfaces with brake cleaner then applying the specified lubricant to the brake disc. Install the two brake disc screws followed by tightening them to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). After placing the brake caliper and brake pads with the brake caliper anchor plate assembly you should install the two brake caliper anchor plate bolts until they reach 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) of torque. First reinstall the parking brake cable to the brake caliper before pulling back the parking brake lever to connect the cable with the parking brake lever as you install the cable conduit retaining clip. Terminate the installation by adding the wheel and tire component followed by testing the park brake system multiple times to observe proper performance and verifying correct brake function by multiple brake applications.
